Picked up the new Stellarvue SV70T from the Fedex depot en route to Snake Valley astrocamp this weekend. Thanks to crazy Melbourne long weekend traffic, we arrived at dusk and unboxed, assembled and setup in the dark.
Couldn't figure out why the stars were not round in the corners until I noticed that I had forgotten to remove a 5mm spacer that was attached to my camera, so the spacing was out. Anyway, with some help from the Bluester and others at SV, we sorted it out eventually but only managed 2x20min 5nm Ha subs before the clouds rolled in for the rest of the weekend.

First impressions? Well packed and nice build quality. Beautiful precise R&P focuser, strong enough to hold my QSI wsg8 at zenith, nice smooth camera rotation action and I like the useful elevated blocks on the dovetail.
Loving the almost 3.0 x 2.4* FOV, can't wait to get this baby under clear skies!
