    Weight: OTA: 23.2 pounds. Rings weigh 1.4 pounds each. Focuser: Stellarvue's highly rated 3.5" dual speed, rack and pinion focuser with 2" and 1.25" threaded adapters. Includes our standard FBB dovetail shoe for use with our finderscope rings.
  • Page 3 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 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.

    Mounts using this size rail include the Celestron AVX mount, Vixen mounts and many other Chinese import mounts. 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.

    The Star Diagonal: The Stellarvue D1040Q diagonal uses a thick and accurate 1/10 wave low expersion quartz mirror with a 99% dielectric coating. These diag- onals are assembled and tested here at Stellarvue to ensure they maintain your telescope’s performance. Astronomers prefer mirror star diagonals over prisms because they are sharper and provide the highest contrast.

  • 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 recommend 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 • 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.

  • Page 13: 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 15: 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 16: 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 17 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 sensor in the camera. Stellarvue produces a variety of spacer rings and extension tubes. Visit our astro-photography accessory page on the web Sff4 Flattener...

  • Page 19: The Focuser

    THE FOCUSER Stellarvue focusers are oversized and designed to be accurate, very smooth, and stable. They can lift far more weight than is necessary 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.
