Learn more here: https://www.stellarvue.com/stellarvue-videos/ 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 by your knife. Carefully remove the telescope from the cardboard box, and set it on a secure surface. Unzip the case to reveal the telescope 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 dispersion 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. -

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. -

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. -

Page 18: 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. -
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. -
