![]() Internal tube treatment: The inside of the main tube assembly is painted "ultra flat black" and is baffled to eliminate tube wall reflections.Ģ.5" dual speed focuser: This is an imported dual speed, 2.5” focuser that provides a full 80mm of travel. Extending the dew-shield minimizes dewing of the objective at night and serves as a glare shade during the daytime. The dew shield retracts reducing the length of the telescope when being stored. Tube and dew shield: The Stellarvue Access 125 comes with an aluminum tube and dew shield that is finished in Instrument White. These telescopes perform on par with other import telescopes within their range. We do not Zygo test Access series telescopes. What this is not: This is not a part of Stellarvue's premier line of apochromatic refractors with optics hand figured here in our shop in Auburn. ![]() Objective Lens: 80 mm clear aperture, 560 mm focal length (F-7), doublet with a single SD element (FCD100 and Lanthanum). We check each telescope to ensure the focuser operates according to spec and the optics are properly aligned. Access series telescopes are made entirely in China and the optics are figured there. What this is: The former Access series of imported telescopes were offered to provide people with "access" to a good telescope at a very affordable price. Also, with the superior design of the rack and pinion focuser you can be assured of smooth yet stable draw tube travel. With the 2.5-inch focuser you’ll be able to handle any combination of diagonal and eyepiece we offer. The objective contains an apochromatic doublet using a combination of FCD100 and Lanthanum which will keep your image contrast high, and since every lens is aligned before shipment you can be sure that you’ll be getting very good performanace for the money. ![]() The Stellarvue Access 80 mm telescope is your chance to own a doublet refractor at an affordable price! It uses a unique combination of materials to keep the cost down without sacrificing usability. We do not Zygo test these telescopes as it would add to the cost, defeating the purpose of a budget, entry level telescope. We have decided that for a very limited time, we will bring back this series. We have been receiving requests to bring back the Access Series for years now. ![]() Many of these newcomers are younger and have a much more limited budget. Many newcomers to astronomy cannot afford a hand figured SVX refractor as a beginner's telescope. We discontinued our former import line of "Stellarvue Access Refractors" many years ago as we focused on hand figuring highly accurate telescope objectives in-house. ![]()
