CelestronCelestron 2-Inch XLT Diagonal Mirror (for SCT Telescope)

Seems to work fine. I’m very new to this hobby and did not receive eye pieces with purchase so thought best to just bite the bullet and go 2”

Todo bien

E' veramente un'ottimo prodotto, è made in Taiwan, dettagli e qualità al massimo. Permette una visione molto appagante. Io l'ho preso per il mio Nexstar 6SE, forse devo dire non è adatto a questo taglio anche il peso che ha che è notevole, io lo consiglierei più almeno dal C8 in su.

Ich brauche dringend eine Rechnung.Für diesen Preis hatte ich mehr Qualität erwartet.

I just wanted to make it clear, since there was some confusion in a question I asked: This item will attach directly to the back of your Celestron SCT *IN PLACE OF* the visual back that comes with the scope. It serves the function of the visual back AND the star diagonal, and does NOT require any additional parts to attach to Celestron SCTs. I received mine and the instructions clearly indicate this. You DO NOT need a 2" visual back to use this item, at least not for my Celestron 8SE and any other compatible scopes.Also, the item does not have any "cheap plastic parts" (unless you count the stoppers that protect the optics when not in use, which you shouldn't). It feels very sturdy and well-made, and the ring that attaches to the rear of the scope is solid metal like the rest of the item. Perhaps the reviewer who complained about the ring had a bad experience, or even cross-threaded the ring onto the scope, because it seems to be as secure as the visual back which comes with the scope.The only thing that I would maybe have a quibble about would be that the aluminum case that comes with it is probably overkill. I'm pretty sure I could have the case pitched to me and crush it into left field with an aluminum bat and the diagonal would still work fine (so long as you duct-taped the lid, as the latch might open). I'm sure I'll appreciate it when I drop the case and don't have to spend over $100 for a new diagonal, but right now I don't see using it at the sandlot in a pinch, and if I did I probably couldn't hit it into the Beast's yard anyway because this thing is built like a depleted-uranium round. I feel like I could use the extra space in my kit more than the bomb-proof case.(Update): After getting a chance to try it out, I can say for sure that it is very easy to setup and use, stays fixed to the rear cell securely and is not too bulky to prevent my Celestron 8SE from pointing at zenith (I did have to mount the scope as far forward as possible, but that also happens to be the balance point, so it's no problem). Images are crystal clear, so much so that I finally noticed optical defects in my eye at high magnification (floaters). The case is useful while observing to hold lens covers and extra bits, because you can close the lid so they don't blow away. I would definitely recommend this to anyone needing a 2 inch diagonal.
