SV50 arrived today       #2236219 - 03/04/08 06:50 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Sun was as dull as dishwater though, and I was testing another "new" configuration, (plus had major issues with my lapttop...now recovered, but that took most of today to resolve...) but the build quality on the SV50 is just stunning...not a bit of plastic to be seen, and comes in a wonderful presentation/carry case. Etalon is full aperture, and the blocking filter built in to the tube. Comes with the Televue Sol Seaecher.. Can't wait to try it out with the DMK's (another beautifully engineered product IMHO) Post Extras:       Ralph Marantino Postmaster Reged: 05/01/05 Posts: 6331 Loc: Old Bridge, New Jersey Re: SV50 arrived today [Re: NickH]       #2236226 - 03/04/08 06:53 PM Attachment (14 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Best of luck with it. -------------------- Lunt H-alpha LS100THa/B3400 Rockland Astronomy Club Member BAA Solar Section Central Appalachian Astronomy Club Astronomical League DSPST,PST & 70mm Coronado Cal K telescope.2.2A Zeiss 2 inch prism diagonal&Zeiss Zoom EP 2inch APM Herschel Wedge in a 94mm F7 Brandon 14.5 inch f4.2 Starmaster Dob(Zambuto mirror) TeleView Genisis SDF with 1000 Oaks Glass filter Zeiss 63mm f13.5 refractor 1000 Oaks Glass filter Itty Bitty Solar Radio Telescope.
