100 MM f5.8 APOASTROGRAPH
A Message From Vic Maris
Thank you for purchasing a StellarvueCTelescope.
Back in the mid 1960’s, my father bought me a
60mm refractor to encourage my interest in
science. That telescope almost ended my interest
in astronomy! I struggled for several nights with its
wobbly mount, inferior eyepieces and optics, then
retired the telescope to the closet.
There are millions of inexpensive telescopes sitting in closets because of
inferior performance. Instead of taking that chance, you made the decision to
become the owner of a quality telescope; easy to use and built to last.
Congratulations on making an excellent decision! Please look over this manual
to learn how easy it is use your new StellarvueC Refractor.

INTRODUCTION
Stellarvue telescopes are individually made and are triple tested before they
leave the factory. Please store and use it as you would any optical device. If
dust accumulates on the lens, you may use a bulb type blower to remove it.
Always be careful to avoid marring the lens.
Stellarvue optics are fully multi-coated to increase light transmission and con-
trast. Lenses are accurately hand figured but may show some cosmetic marks
which do not affect performance. The telescope is internally baffled and treat-
ed with an ultra flat black interior. The true apochromatic lens, dark interior
and full multi-coatings result in exceptional contrast and clarity.
Assembling your telescope is easy. Once it is assembled, you are ready to
observe. The telescope may be easily moved. We recommend storing the
tube assembly in a padded, breathable case to protect the finish. Do not
leave it outside after observing with it. When working in the field, it is a good
idea to cover the telescope when not in use to prevent dust from settling on
the optical and mechanical parts.
1.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Keep the telescope covered when not in use with the lens caps in place. Cover
the lens to reduce the dust and debris that can fall onto the lens. When observ-
ing, extend the dew shield all the way out to minimize the amount of dew that
forms on the lens. If the lens gets wet, bring it indoors to let it air dry before
replacing the lens cap. Do not store the telescope in an air tight container.
Store it in a cool, dry place.
Lens cleaning should be done infrequently. A small amount of dust or small
spots on a lens will not affect performance. If dust accumulates on the lens,
blow it off with a bulb syringe. If the lens needs cleaning, make sure you blow
all the dust off the lens before cleaning it. Dust particles can be hard and
scratch the glass. All dust should be removed before you use a lens cloth.
Once the lens is clear of any particles, use lens cleaner on a Kimwipe or optical
cleaning cloth to clean the lens, followed by a dry wipe. Never spray directly
onto the lens: the liquid could migrate around the lens to the inside.
Spray the cloth and wipe it in circular motions covering the entire surface. Keep
wiping as the lens cleaner evaporates. Use a dry cloth as needed.
The tube exterior can be cleaned with a lint free cloth and a commercial
cleaner, like “Fantastic.” Fantastic works well on anodized surfaces and the
tube to eliminate spots. As with any cleaner, follow the instructions on the con-
tainer.
If you scratch the tube, contact Stellarvue about touch up paint.
Avoid temperature extremes. Do not store the telescope in a hot car during the
daytime: heat can damage the optics and tube. Whenever possible, store in a
cool, dry place.
Avoid dropping the telescope or striking it against hard surfaces. Treat the tele-
scope as you would a fine camera lens and it will give you decades of excellent
service.

The SVQ100 Refractor telescope gathers light with its 100 mm objective lens
in the front of the telescope. This light travels through the main tube to the rear
where the field is flattened with a special flattener element in front of the
focuser.
Your camera attaches to the focuser. A number of extension tubes and
adapters are included with the SVQ100 to allow most cameras to work with it.
Other adapters are available from Stellarvue including the popular 2.156 and
3-24 threads found on larger CCD cameras.
This is an astrograph that can also be used
for visual use with our low profile visual
adapter available separately. The adapter
screws into the focuser and accomodates a
2” star diagonal. To order go to:

The TP14 rail is our
“Vixen” sized rail. This
rail is used on Stellarvue
mounts that use the
TDLV shoe (M2C &
MG2), the Celestron VX,
AVX, Vixen GP, and
many more
The TP6 rail is our
“Losmandy” sized rail. This
rail is used on the
Celestron CGEM and CGE
Pro, Losmandy mounts,
Stellarvue mounts that
have the large TD7 dove-
tail shoe and many more.
MOUNTING THE TELESCOPE
Your telescope came with two hinged mounting rings. These attach to most
mounts using one of two optional rails.

USING A DSLR CAMERA
1. Purchase a T-ring for your model
camera available from a camera store.
2. Remove the camera lens from your camera body.
3. Thread the T-ring to the adapter on the focuser. Use
both adapters for the standard T-ring (M42 and only the
larger adapter if using the oversized 48 mm T-ring.
4. Attach the camera to the T-ring/field flattener.
6. Focus and shoot.
USING A CCD CAMERA
CCD cameras offer many advantages over DSLR’s but each camera is designed
differently. Most CCD cameras come with a standard T thread attachment. Simply
screw it on, focus and shoot.
CCD cameras come in all sizes and many other items
may be purchased that are placed between the cam-
era and the focuser. These items include a filter wheel
and off axis guider. This means that different camera
set ups come to focus at different distances from the
front of the telescope. We designed the SVQ to work
with as many different set ups as possible. The image
plane (point of focus) is about 6 inches back from the
focuser. So depending on your camera equipment, you
may need an extension tube to reach focus. If you
cannot come to infinity focus through direct attachment as
outlined here, contact Stellarvue for the correct, threaded extension. Fortunately,
the Q does not require any field flatteners so flattener spacing is not an issue.

GUIDESCOPES
Astrophotographers often use a top-
mounted guide scope when engaged in
astrophotography. The guidescope is
mounted on adjustable rings on top of the
main scope. It can be pointed at a rela-
tively bright guide star while the main
telescope is centered on the target.
Stellarvue makes guidescopes and
adjustable guidescope ring systems that
will work perfectly with your SVQ100.

FOCUSER
ADJUSTMENT
If you find the focuser slips when
heavy accessories are used, tighten
the thumb screw (A) underneath the
focus shaft slightly to eliminate slip-
page. Also, tighten thumb screw (A1)
if the focuser drawtube has any play.
ROTATING THE
FOCUSER
There is a thumb screws (B) between
the focuser and the main tube.
Loosen this slightly to rotate the
focuser 360 degrees. There are three
set screws (C) that adjust tension of
the rotator. Make sure each of these
is equally tight so rotation is stiff. If they are too loose the focuser could slightly
misalign, so be sure these screws are adequately tight before imaging to elimi-
nate any misalignment.
When imaging, after you attain focus, tighten the top screw (A1) to eliminate
focus shift during the exposure.

ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY
Good astrophotography requires a good telescope mount. Equatorial mounts are
best: alt azimuth tracking mounts cause field rotation during longer exposures,
turning the stars into arcs. Equatorial mounts with low periodic error track the stars
accurately if your telescope mount is properly aligned to the celestial pole. Less
expensive mounts will not track accurately enough to show all your telescope is
capable of capturing. Your telescope is excellent both optically and mechanically,
so we advise you not to cut corners on the mount if you intend to engage in
astrophotography. Check our website for recommended mounts for your telescope.
