STELLARVUE NIGHTHAWK BV (aka SV80BV) | Astromart

Stellarvue or Takahashi?
I thought when I read the webpage for the SVX130, I saw that it used FPL-53 but looking at it again, I see only extra low dispersion, in Stellarvue Speak this means something along the lines of FPL-51. For $5000, I would want FPL-53 or an equivalent, especially when the alternative is the TOA 130 which is a dual FPL-53 scope.

Stellarvue wide-field refractor telescopes have specific advantages over larger reflectors: 1.

During this same time period, Stellarvue developed the Access series of telescopes for beginners. Unlike our Premier refractors with hand figured optics ...
Optical Glass Types
The SVX180T uses FPL55 (see below) and the rest FPL53. Ohara FPL53 versus FPL55. Investing in optical glass in large sizes is expensive and risky. Ohara is now making a new SD glass, FPL55. Based on the specs the only real difference between FPL53 and FPL55 is the latter can maintain its performance in larger sizes.
