Love Vic and the staff at Stellarvue. Own several products, all top class and excellent customer service.

Not CD but CA! in below comment

Oh yes, my 10" dob is "perfectly" aligned to maximize performance. Testing in red light, green light, I think academic. It's actual visual performance that counts and my SVX 140T truly delivers outstanding sharpness, detail & contrast with no CD. Vic Maris & his team truly deliver great performance.

I own 3 Stellarvue scopes SV70mm, SV 115t20; SVX140T All excellent Scopes but the SVX140T, ultra sharp and super contrast is truly special.. Easily matches the detail and contrast with no CA compared to my 10" dobsonian when viewing the moon using Pentax xw 10mm eyepiece & AP 2" diagonal. Hard to believe but true.

I’m so excited to get my hands on one of these scopes 😅

All that work at 633 in the red but what about blue and green?

I have a Stellarvue SVX90T Raptor Carbon fiber Ota and it is amazing.

He would have received better points from me if he would have mentioned the Losmandy mount at the end on his 85. You'll notice that the industry should be in it all together, the great relationships forged on the giants this guy is standing on from AP ,TAK, TMB and TEC.

Your Artificial Star is surely way too close, that will induce false Spherical Aberration into the test. It should be at least 40 focal lengths away

World class in red light. What about green?

Impressive presentation, I had watched this last fall as the owner of a new Sky-Watcher Esprit 100. Returned that and now I am watching again as the soon to be owner of an SVX152T. Thanks Vic!

i just want one of each models ...in my dreams.

Good video. I worked in optical shops, and this guy has really good equipment and processes.

This is similar to metal spinning to make metal plates and bowls but not as exact. I had to use a wood lathe to make the forms to press the metal into the shape using the metal spinning lathe. I did this to make a 3 tier serving plate in metal shop in high school. After I did the wood forms all the other students were able to use the same wood forms to make their own metal plates. I used 18 gage aluminum for the plates.

Very impressive.

i want to work at a telescope manufacturer really bad. working towards perfection sounds super rewarding

No surprise that my little 80mm Apo triplet Nighthawk always attracts lots of attention at star parties - everybody loves the beautiful colors it shows in the Pleiades. It can fight off lots of significantly bigger refractors!

I am very impressed sigh your production process. I had no idea on how the process worked. I really want one of your scopes. Nice work!

I've been enjoying my Stellarvue 80 for 20 years or so now, my favorite quick setup wide field scope.

Denis de chico porque tienes los comentarios desconectados en algunos de tus vídeos de SKY & TELESCOPE cual es el problema de recibir comentarios de tus SUSCRIPTORES.

Cool video. I had no idea how much work goes into these optics.

Nice video of Stellarvue's factory. Great work Vic...!

I have a SVX102T Raptor on the way to me now. I can’t wait.

This is all very impressive, but the real question people want to know about is; What happened? Why only direct from Stellarvue now? Why is everything only available via an up-front deposit now? It's kind of a shame :(

Good video, though the difference between a perfect lens and a (non-existent) perfect diffractionless lens is that even a perfect lens puts 84% of the light into the airy disk whereas a perfect diffractionless lens would put 100% into it, there would be no diffraction rings.

Soy un orgulloso poseedor de un Stellarvue, una verdadera maravilla de la optica. Mi siguiente telescopio obviamente tambièn serà un Stellarvue. Saludos y felicitaciones desde Chile donde se encuentran los mas limpios cielos del planeta.

impressive

Full of admiration for Vic and his company, and by the way I own one of these.

Felicitaciones.. lis Stellsrvue son fantasticos

Very interesting video, and great company 🔭

My SV102T is a terrific scope.

I don't think anyone can challenge the statement that Stellarvue SVX scopes are unsurpassed in quality. However, it is sad to see that VM has given up on his stated company goal. He says that Sellarvue is a "small telescope company dedicated to introducing people to the night sky." Having a product line with a starting price point of $4500 will introduce no one to the wonders of the night sky. Once upon a time, a novice could purchase a Stellarvue setup for under $1000. While many notches below the quality of an SVX, it was a quality optical instrument and light years beyond what you could buy at Target. I still enjoy mine.

Ok, I get it. I want one.

I remember when Dennis was a young whippersnapper with jet black hair.

Wow Vic. After all these years of following Stellarvue's story I now have a real appreciation for what level effort you put into your optical manufacturing. I still have my 102EDT from the early days. Your level of attention to detail is truly awe inspiring. Thanks

Vic is one kick ass president! Impressive passion for making the best.. Was looking at competitors product.. Not any more. : )

Individual lens spacers taylored for each objective?

Thank-you both of you. I could listen to material like this for hours. (I also now have increased appreciation for Vic's April 1 "Dial-a-Strehl" announcement.)

I have always wanted and admired Stellarvue telescopes and after watching this video, I want one even more so! The attention to detail is incredible!

Awesome video. My AT1010 nighthawk from StellarVue is my most used scope! perfect optics, great value, grab and go scope. Vic and company make some of the best value scopes on the market.

Great video, Vic and Dennis. It was cool to see where my Stellarvue 102 was made.

Thanks Guys!

Beautiful! I own a Stellarvue SV105 and it’s never failed me. I can’t wait for my upgrade to arrive. This video is very inspirational.

Excellent video! I own two of Vic's scopes and they are simply fantastic. Stellarvue doesn't just produce amazing telescopes, they work hard to promote amateur astronomy. Scott

You get excellence and you pay a fair price for QUALITY! I am a customer.

I agree! Excellent products! Love mine

Stellarvue needs more TH-cam videos! Loved this one!

Good interview Vic. Keep making amazing scopes. Scott
