  • Page 3: A Message From Vic Maris

    Stellarvue telescopes are individually made, and each optic is tested multiple times to ensure perfection. Please store and use it as you would any optical device. If dust accumulates on the lens, you may use a bulb type blower to remove it.

  • Page 4: Making World Class Optics

    MAKING WORLD-CLASS OPTICS At Stellarvue we believe you ‘get what you pay for,’ and cater to those who are looking for a high-quality product with reliable optics. While making commercial grade mass-produced optics is relatively easy and fast, it results in unreliable products. That’s why we take the time to make each apo-triplet lens as close to perfect as possible.

  • Page 5: Whats Inside The Box

    UNPACKING Stellarvue telescopes are securely boxed or double boxed in a padded case. Be careful when using a blade to open the shipping box. This will avoid damaging the case inside with your knife. Carefully remove the tele- scope from the cardboard box, and set it on a secure surface. Unzip or unlatch the case to reveal the tele- scope inside.

    Vixen rail order a TP-012 rail and place it under the riser blocks in place of the Losmandy style rail. Most larger mounts use the larger Losmandy-style rail, which is 4” wide. Mounts using this size rail include the Stellarvue mounts with our TDLV shoes, Paramount, Losmandy, Mathis, Discmounts, and larger Celestron mounts.

  • Page 7: Setting Up For Visual Use

    The Star Diagonal: The Stellarvue D1040Q diagonal uses a thick and accurate 1/10 wave low expension quartz mirror with a 99% dielectric coating. Astronomers prefer mirror star diagonals over prisms because they are sharper and provide the highest con- trast.

  • Page 8: 4.7 Eyepieces

    2. Medium-power eyepieces: Boosting the power darkens the sky background and shows more detail in deep sky objects such as nebulae, star clusters and galaxies. We recommed the Stellarvue Optimus 9 and 13.5 eyepieces as the best for medium-power deep sky viewing.

  • Page 9: Observing Tips

    OBSERVING TIPS Cool down: Optics are affected by temperature changes, so it is not recommended to take a telescope from a warm room to the cold night and immediately observe with it. The objective lens must settle down to the ambi- ent temperature before it performs as it should.

  • Page 12: Reflex Sights

    OPTICAL FINDERSCOPES Vic Maris designed the Stellarvue optical finderscopes. These are top rated because they use good optics, full multi-coatings on all optical surfaces, are lighter weight and can be used with a variety of eyepieces. Optical finderscopes have the advantage of gathering more light than the naked eye. Deep sky observers prefer these when looking for faint objects.

  • Page 14: Solar Viewing

    DO NOT use the old eyepiece solar filters that screw onto the eyepiece. These will be subjected to extreme heat and crack! For more information on solar filters visit: http://www.stellarvue.com/solar-filters/ 2. Hershel Wedge: A good Hershel Wedge is used like a star diagonal. Insert it in the focuser and the eye- piece into it.

  • Page 15: Astrophotography

    ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY While telescopes are designed to be used visually, they may be easily converted into a super photographic lens using one of our dedicated photographic correctors. You remove the eyepiece, star diagonal and 2” adapter from the focuser and you replace it with either our field flattener or focal reducer/field flattener. Without a corrector, stars will become With a properly spaced corrector stars will elongated away from the center...

  • Page 16: Field Flattener

    For example, if your camera has a 35 mm backfocus you will need 20 mm of extension tubes to get the flattener 55 mm from the ccd chip in the camera. Stellarvue produces a variety of spacer rings and extension tubes. Visit our astro-photography accessory page on the web Sff3 Flattener...

    This will eliminate any rubbing. Motorizing your focuser: Optec Inc. has developed some great motorized focus systems for all Stellarvue focusers. They offer the motor that can convert the focuser from manual to electronic with the turn of a lever. They also offer their FocusLynx controller and fully ASCOM compliant FocusLynx...

  • Page 19: Care And Maintenance

    • Once the lens is clear of any particles, use Stellarvue lens cleaner on a Kimwipe or optical cleaning cloth to clean the lens, followed by a dry wipe. Never spray directly onto the lens as the liquid could migrate around the lens to the inside. Apply a small amount to the cloth and gently wipe.
