Product Description
Stellarvue's SVX152T is one of our most popular apochromatic refractors. Planning one year ahead and working continuously, we have shortened the delivery time for new orders from months to weeks! Now, while our supplies last, you can get an SVX152T with Paramount MYT equatorial Head and 19" rail at a reduced price. Save over $2000 on this system.
Availability: We begin the production of all SVX objectives one year ahead of time so while it takes up to a year to perfect each objective, we usually have several lenses available when you order. This means we can generally deliver this telescope within one or two weeks depending on the availability of focusers. At the current time we have Feather Touch focusers in stock and MoonLite focusers only add a few weeks to the waiting period as a general rule. Our sales increased in 2024 above what we anticipated and as a result, we are now out of Stellarvue 3" focusers. We plan to have 200 of these focusers completed about mid April so delivery of telescopes ordered with 3" Stellarvue focusers will be delayed until Spring. You can still order this telescope made with a Stellarvue focuser but delivery will be delayed. Call us for more specific information on delivery time estimates for the telescope and focuser you are looking for. (530) 823-7796.
Telescope: The SVX152T Apochromatic Triplet Refractor comes with your choice of focusers, 2" and 1.25" adapters, cnc machined mounting rings, and TP019 Losmandy rail. Learn more about this refractor and its accessories on the SVX152T page. The image above shows the 3.5" Feather Touch focuser version of the telescope. Also shown is the F050IW2 finderscope which is available separately. The rail shown in the picture is the TP013A. In this bundle the telescope will actually come with the longer TP019 rail which works better with the MYT mount.
Optics: SVX series optics are rated at .98 Strehl or higher as measured on our Zygo Phase Shifting Interferometer in red light. To attain this level of optical accuracy, Stellarvue opticians meticulously figure objectives in our shop using the interferometer and a double pass autocollimator. Once we eliminate aberrations, we now center the optical correction in green light. SVX optics are more accurate than our former SV models. Each SVX series refractor comes with a Zygo interferometric test report taken in our shop documenting the accuracy of your objective. To see part of this process in action, watch our YouTube video.

Paramount MYT Mount. Originally priced at $7295, this is the earlier version of the MYT (not the new series 6) and we are offering it for $2000 off in this system which is below our cost. The TP019A is also included in this package. This offer is limited to the two MYT's we have remaining in stock, when they are sold the offer expires. If you are serious about astro-imaging, you should consider this mount.
Select Tripod. This system comes without a tripod. You may add the Paramount mini pier or the Losmandy heavy duty tripod with adapters by selecting the option you prefer above.
