Meade Series 5000 2" Enhanced Dielectric Diagonal w/ SCT Adapter # 07680
Poorly constructed
I bought this in September 2018 to use with my Tel-Vue 2" eyepieces. The barrel eyepiece receiver on the diagonal came loose and would wobble making it less secure to hold any eyepiece in place. I bought this setup to make it easier to move the ...

Focusing diagonal
One star off because three(!) screws to secure the brass band is overkill and the eyepieces tend to hang up when removing them. Optically excellent.

Focusing diagonal
With plenty of diagonals available, I bought this so that a finer level of focus would be possible on scopes I have that utilize a helical focus mechanism. It works.

Baader 1.25" 45° Amici Prism Diagonal # AMICI-45 2956150
No compromise viewing
It requires more focuser travel than some scope have, but at focus the image is stunning. Will not come to focus on all scopes due to lengthy light path.

Tele Vue 1.25" 90-deg Everbrite Star Diagonal # DPC-1250
Televue Everbrite Diagonal
Actually I returned the 1 1/4 inch Everbrite and bought the 2 inch Televue Everbrite - all through AgeanaAstro. Their refund was very quick and their shipping of both orders was amazing. I purchased a used Televue 76 and just decided I really wanted ...

GSO 2" Dielectric Star Diagonal
Works as intended; no discernible reduction in image brightness; makes viewing objects near zenith much more comfortable; best price I could find on the web for a 2" dielectric diagonal. All of the GSO products I've bought to date are of hi...

Celestron 1.25" Telescope Star Diagonal # 94115-A
This is a good buy
I haven't had this diagonal for very long but from what I can see from two nights of viewing the moon is that it shows a definite improvement in contrast. I'm using it with a 102 f6.5 refractor. The view looks better on the moon than the di...

Same Quality, better price
I’ve had more expensive diagonals and the quality of this diagonal places it in the same league as the more costly ones.

Excellent!
Bought this because my GSO 2" refractor focuser, installed on my Orion StarBlast 90mm f/7.3 achro, didn't have enough in-travel to reach focus. The deep set adapter on this diagonal fixed that, and now everything is perfect. The diagonal it...

GSO 1.25" 90-deg Erect Image Amici Prism Diagonal # PD90
Back to the atlas- at last
I converted a straight thru spotting scope with a fixed eyepiece ( and short eye relief) to a telescope with the ability to change eyepieces- the objective lens went into a home built plywood box and this GSO diagonal allows me to use the Pocket Sky ...

GSO 0.965"/1.25" 90-deg Hybrid Erect-Image Prism Diagonal
Good Value and Performance
Solid construction, optically good enough with no mechanical or optical flaws at a nice price. I'd like the eyepiece holder to have been removable ( with a T2 thread ) or lower profile but it's in use and makes my 60mm f 16.5 refractor quit...
