Stellarvue Enhanced 2 Inch Dielectric Diagonal D1029ED
This Astro Optics 90° hybrid star diagonal gives you greater versatility. A hybrid diagonal allows you to use 1.25" eyepieces on a telescope with a .965" focuser. Works with any refractor that has a .965" focuser and older (American made) Celestron C90 spotting scopes. Larger 1.25" eyepieces have a wider field of view and better eye relief than .965" eyepieces. The housing is made of strong and durable ABS plastic.
Many observers prefer to use a good-quality mirror diagonal instead of a prism diagonal with high-end telescope systems. The mirror in these 90-deg diagonals are meticulously polished to yield maximum performance. Housings are made of black-anodized aluminum. Barrels are internally blackened. Each 2" diagonal accepts both 2" and 1.25" eyepieces (with included adapter). The 2" eyepiece holder as two locking setscrews for maximum eyepiece security. These diagonals render images that are right-side up and reversed left to right (therefore, not recommended for terrestrial observing). Diagonals are not recommended for use in reflector telescopes.

(1)Celestron?s Erect Image Diagonals are an Amici prism design. This design allows you to look into the telescope at a 45 angle, at images that are oriented properly, meaning the image is upright and correct from left to right. Use of Celestron?s .96" to 1-1/4" 45 Erect Image Diagonal on a telescope equipped with .96" eyepieces means greater versatility. This diagonal will allow you to use 1-1/4" eyepieces, to obtain a larger field of view and better eye relief. A 901-1/4" Erect Image Diagonal is available for those who prefer that angle. A Star Diagonal lets you view objects that are at a 90 angle from the direction the telescope is pointing, thereby allowing comfortable viewing when the telescope is pointed at, or near, the zenith (i.e. directly overhead). The resulting image is right side up, but will be reversed from left to right.
This precision 90-deg star diagonal feature fully coated prisms, delivering superior image fidelity. Features a machined aluminum eyepiece holder and a chrome-plated metal barrel that's threaded for filters. The eyepiece holder has a setscrew for locking the eyepiece securely in place. It produces an image that is right-side up and reversed left to right (therefore, not recommended for terrestrial observing). Diagonals are not recommended for use in reflector telescopes. Fits in 1.25" focusers and accepts 1.25"-diameter eyepieces.
Don't put a standard-issue diagonal into a high-quality refractor or Cassegrain telescope or you'll be losing 10% or more of the light collected by the scope's optics. Use an Orion Enhanced diagonal instead. Their lab-tested enhanced aluminum coatings reflect 97% of the inbound light to your eyepiece, for brighter images compared to standard diagonals. Beautifully machined and anodized aluminum housings feature machine-threaded baffles for high contrast and nonmarring compression ring collars for securing the eyepiece. Nosepiece barrels are threaded to accept filters. Endcaps included.

(1)Cstar Optic's new Dual Size Erect Image Lens changes your Telescope into a Spotting Scope. Most Telescopes give an up-side-down and reversed image which is acceptable for night sky viewing, but very inconvenient for day-time land viewing. Cstar's new Erect Image Lens corrects the up-side-down image to be right-side-up and correct from left to right just like you see with your own eyes but just at a higher power. Cstar Solves the up-side-down, reversed telescope image problem by providing a new erect image lens which is adaptable to telescopes which take both .965 inch eye-pieces or 1.25 inch eye-pieces. This is a great accessory for your Cstar telescope or to put on most other different brands of telescopes. The dual size capability allows you to use either .965 inch or 1.25 inch size eye-pieces. Moreover, you can now turn your Telescope into a Spotting Scope and Telescope All in 1 and use it for all occasions.
This premium 45 degree correct image diagonal lets you use your telescope as a terrestrial "spotting scope" with 1.25" eyepieces for fully corrected viewing in catadioptric telescopes with a 1.25" visual back, or in refractors that accept 1.25" diagonals. The precision image-correcting prism is made of high-density BaK-4 glass and is fully multicoated for excellent light transmission. A non-marring compression ring with a thumbscrew holds eyepieces firmly in place. There is a slanted-side safety groove cut into the 1.25" tube that slips into the telescope focuser. Its slanted sides catch the focuser thumbscrew to keep the diagonal from falling out of the eyepiece holder should the thumbscrew accidentally loosen in use. The inside of the 1.25" tube has anti-reflection threading and is coated with ultra flat black paint for enhanced image contrast. The 1.25" tube is also threaded for filters. Dust caps are provided for both ends to protect the diagonal when not in use.
