Description

Stellarvue's SVX152T is a hand figured, high resolution telescope. This is an exceptional visual refractor that produces amazing images when used with the Stellarvue photographic field flattener. Watch the SVX152T Apo Triplet Refractor Video!

Availability: While it takes up to a year to perfect each SVX objective, we operate one year in advance. Each month we complete dozens of SVX objectives and send them to the coating lab. Our goal is to have a waiting period of less than 30 days, but this is not always possible since demand varies, and each individual objective takes a different amount of time to perfect. Our current estimate for delivery times may be found on our "availability page" but it is best to contact us at (530) 823-7796 for more specific information on delivery times for a specific telescope you want, if ordered now. Each SVX objective we hand figure takes a significant amount of time. We will not rush this process. Time is not of the essence. Do not order a telescope from us if you cannot wait the additional time it may take to perfect your individual optic.

Coatings: Broadband, full multi-coatings on each surface enhance contrast and eliminate unwanted reflections.


Optics: SVX152T is rated at .97 to .98 Strehl as measured on our Zygo Phase Shifting Interferometer in red light. Visit our SVX Optics Page to learn more about this process. We are currently in process of developing a video on the SVX152T. We recently took the objective that had just been completed, and we performed some tests including a Zygo interferometric test and double pass autocollimation test. This gives a good idea of how these objectives perform across the visual spectrum. To see part of this process in action, watch our YouTube video.

svx152t-132-2-.bmp

SPECIFICATIONS:

Objective lens:
Air-spaced 152 mm, 1200 mm focal length (approximately f-8) fully multi-coated, apochromatic triplet using a combination of Ohara FPL-53 extra low-dispersion center element with a Lanthanum rear element.

Tube Assembly:
All aluminum, Instrument White, fully baffled, 6 1/8" diameter tube. Telescope is 44 1/2" long with dew shield retracted and 52" long when extended.

Dew Shield:
Retracting aluminum dew shield with a 7.33" diameter and 11 3/4" total length. Instrument White color, laser logo engraving, and black anodized aluminum fittings. Dew shield is fitted with an aluminum press-on dust objective cover.

Weight:
Telescope tube weighs 23.2 pounds. With rings and TP-19 Losmandy style rail added, the total weight is 28 pounds.

Focuser:

The Feather Touch 3.5" focuser weighs 5.8 lbs, so with the rings/rail/focuser, the total weight is about 34 lbs.  

Rings:
Very heavy-duty CNC-machined mounting rings, American-made using 6061 T6 aluminum plate. Five threaded 1/4-20 holes top and bottom spaced 1.5" and 60 mm apart with one in the center. 5 mm side hole for reflect finder mounting.

Rail: Your choice between the Losmandy-Style TP013A or TP019, or the Vixen-Style TP012.

Handle: The Stellarvue #HAN-1 handle is included.

Case:
Heavy duty American-made hard case made of 3/8" plywood, durable hard cover, handle, and wheels. Outside dimensions are 51" X 13" X 13". The wheels stick out 2" from one end. The interior high quality foam cutout is 46" X 8" X 8".

Eyepieces and Star Diagonal: In addition to one of the mounts above, you will need a star diagonal and eyepieces if you plan to use this scope for visual observation.

You will need a diagonal, some eyepieces, a mount, and a tripod to observe with this telescope. You will find that a finder scope is helpful in locating objects. We recommend the following:

Finder Scope:
Stellarvue F050IW2 correct image optical finder and R050DA mounting rings may be purchased separately.

Light Gain:
471.5 times that of the naked eye.

Color Correction (1-10):
10 Resolution: .76 Arc Seconds

Maximum magnification:
Depends on seeing conditions. There is no reason a high-end, hand-crafted apochromat cannot be taken to 100X per inch under steady skies.
