Make Some History with a Tele Vue Telescope of Your Own! Image courtesy of Don Bruns Some Tele Vue Telescopes have only Illustration of the Tele Vue-NP101is image identifying qualifying stars used to measure positional deviation due to the Sun’s gravity. I t took Dr. Don Bruns a day to make two-and-a-half minutes to create history with a Tele history, others have a lifetime! Vue-NP101is. During totality of the 2017 total solar eclipse, he imaged the star field around the Sun in an attempt to make the most accurate optical measurement to date of Einstein’s prediction of starlight deflection. His goal was to use off-the-shelf equipment available to any amateur astronomer. Hear Don present his history-making results, and why he chose a Tele Vue telescope, at NEAF 2018; then stop by the Tele Vue booth to see the scope, speak with Don, and choose a Tele Vue telescope of your own!
