SV50 arrived today new
      #2236219 - 03/04/08 06:50 PM

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)
