GSO's 2" SCT diagonal features dielectric coatings with 99%
reflectivity across the visible spectrum and a 1/12 wave BK7 mirror.
The all metal diagonal body is CNC machined. The combined result is a
superb diagonal offering excellent mechanical and optical quality at a
great price. Dielectric coatings are more durable than regular or
enhanced aluminum coatings, so you will enjoy years of excellent
performance from this product. Diagonals with comparable quality and
specifications often sell for $150 or more in today's astronomy market.
This diagonal can be screwed on directly to most
Meade, Celestron and other Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes, as well as to some Maksutov-Cassegrain
telescopes as long as they have a standard SCT thread (an approximately 2"
diameter male thread). A 1.25"-2" adapter is included so you can
use this diagonal with 1.25" or 2" eyepieces. The 1.25" and 2" holders
both feature a brass compression ring, so your eyepiece barrels will
not be scratched by the set screw. The 1.25"-2" adapter is also
threaded to accept 2" filters. The diagonal comes in a very nice
foam-fitted storage box and includes 2 end caps. Made in Taiwan.
We also sell an optional 2" chrome barrel that will allow you to use
this SCT diagonal with refractor telescopes. With this accessory, there
is no need to buy another refractor diagonal and the same diagonal can be used
with both types of telescopes!
