Each month we complete dozens of SVX objectives and send them to the coating lab. Our goal is to have a waiting period of less than 30 days, but this is not always possible since demand varies, and each individual objective takes a different amount of time to perfect. Our current estimate for delivery times may be found on our \"\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarvue.com\/telescope-availability\"\u003eavailability page\u003c\/a\u003e\" but it is best to contact us at (530) 823-7796 for more specific information on delivery times for a specific telescope you want, if ordered now. Each SVX objective we hand figure takes a significant amount of time. We will not rush this process. Time is not of the essence. Do not order a telescope from us if you cannot wait the additional time it may take to perfect your individual optic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"powr-chat\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoatings\u003c\/strong\u003e: Broadband, full multi-coatings on each surface enhance contrast and eliminate unwanted reflections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"powr-chat\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"powr-chat\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptics:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSVX152T is rated at .97 to .98 Strehl as measured on our Zygo Phase Shifting Interferometer in red light.
