Mirror Star Diagonals
|
Ideal For Use With High-End Telescopes
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.

Recommended for Terrestrial Observing
For terrestrial viewing with a refractor or Cassegrain telescope, use of a correct-image (or "image erecting") diagonal is desirable. The resulting image will appear upright and nonreversed. Diagonals are not recommended for use in reflector telescopes.
Note: the #7216 45° correct-image diagonal requires 5/8" more focus travel than typical diagonals.
