Stellarvue SVX 102 T-R Premier Apo Refractor, shown with dielectric diagonal, Optimus 20 mm eye-

piece, M 2 C Alt-Azimuth Mount, and new American made Stellarvue “SOLID” Tripod built from rock-

solid furniture grade AppleplyC. The “SOLID” features a heavy-duty adjustable column to alter its

height. Our SVX telescopes use optics that are hand-figured in our optical shop in Auburn, California.

After machine polishing we map the optical wavefront and then make fine corrections by hand and

machine to eliminate optical defects. We measure the accuracy of each apochromatic triplet objective

with our own Zygo phase shifting laser interferometer. Every SVX model comes with its unique Zygo

test report measuring the objective at full aperture, and documenting an extremely high Strehl ratio

(. 98 –. 996 ) for world class performance.
