SVX80T-3SV


New Stellarvue SVX 80 T- 3 SV features a 80 mm f- 6 ( 480 mm focal length) fully multi-coated, 3 - element


objective lens hand-figured in our shop in Auburn, California to an extremely high Strehl ratio (. 98 –


. 996 ). Every SVX model comes with its unique Zygo test report measuring the objective at full aperture.


This system uses an over-sized 3 " focuser that eliminates the vignetting seen when using full-sized


ccd chips and 2. 5 " focusers. This focuser is robust, smooth, and stable. Included are Stellarvue's new


risers and a Losmandy-sized mounting rail. The visual/photographic system is specifically designed


for imaging and has American-made hardware with rings bolted directly to the tube, eliminating any


felt flexure. The SVX 80 T- 3 SV comes with a matched SFF 4 field-flattener that threads onto the 3 "


Stellarvue focuser for imaging. Also included a heavy-duty case that holds the telescope, risers and


rings as one unit. Merely take it from the case and slide it onto your mount.
