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 telescope inside. -
Page 6: Attaching The Telescope To The Mount
Smaller mounts use the Vixen-style mounting rail, which is about 1 3/4” wide. Mounts using this size rail include the Celestron AVX mount, Vixen mounts The Stellarvue M1V, M002C and many Chinese import mounts. The TP014 shown at the left works well with this telescope when a Vixen-style rail is needed. -
Page 7: Setting Up For Visual Use
Secure it using the tightening lever. diagonal. Tighten the thumb screw. The Star Diagonal: The Stellarvue D1040Q diagonal uses a thick and accurate 1/10 wave low expension quartz mirror with a 99% dielectric coating. These diagonals are assembled and tested here at Stellarvue to ensure they maintain your telescope’s performance. -
Page 8: Eyepieces And Seeing Conditions
2. Medium-power eyepiece: 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 use at medium power. -
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
Reflex sights do not magnify but have an optical window with a red dot or crosshair pattern displayed on it. #F001 Red Dot Finder: The simplest reflex sight to use is the Stellarvue Red Dot Finder #F001. This is an inexpensive, plastic reflex finder that projects a red dot on a glass window. The red dot indicates where the telescope is pointed. -

DO NOT use the old eyepiece solar filters that screw onto the eyepiece. These will be subjected to extreme heat and crack!

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 our field flattener and camera.

A guide scope or off axis guider is connected to a laptop computer to accomplsih this. The guide scope will need a small guide camera hooked to it. Stellarvue offers our F050G guide scope that works well with this telescope: http://www.stellarvue.com/stel-... -
Page 18: The Focuser
THE FOCUSER Stellarvue focusers are oversized and designed to be accurate, very smooth and stable. They can lift more weight than is neces- sary, so heavier accessories may be used. The focuser may be rotated 360 degrees so the user can put the focuser knobs in the most convenient position. -
Page 19: Care And Maintenance
• Once the lens is clear of any particles, use Stellarvue lens cleaner on a Kimwipe or optical clean- ing 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. -
