Could Not Resist !
Friday, 19 October 2018  | 

As soon as I took my Celestron Edge telescope out of it's box I knew I wanted to upgrade certain items. I'm just like that... This diagonal looked the part on the website and face to face it does not disappoint. Excellent build quality and superb looking clear mirror. The fixing look more substantial too. I am fully trusting this to hold my Vixen eyepieces and to look good while doing it. Recommended !!

Solid design

This diagonal looks good and feels even better. Compared with a stock Skywatcher diagnoal, the build quality is far superior. I used this diagonal with a Celestron X-Cel LX (25 mm) and the view was crisp and flat to the very edge of the FOV.

Don't be deceived!

People look at this diagonal and assume that - due to its hefty build - it must be of high quality.

Unfortunately it has two problems which are serious enough to strike it off your wish list:

1) Firstly, the internal safety-stop actually obstructs light - vignetting the edge-of-field on super-wide eyepieces.

2) The safety-stop - and some other parts - have shiny surfaces which casts glancing light reflections into the eyepiece, causing annoying glare on the moon and bright stars.

Best choose something else.

Very high quality diagonal

I've often heard it said that a diagonal upgrade gives you nebligible optical improvement, but that doesn't mean it isn't worthwhile.

You may not notice a significant difference observing with it, but what matters is build quality. A well-made diagonal holds eyepieces more securely and accurately in the optical train.This diagonal is extremely well made, and a real joy to use. It's got everything right: tapered barrel for a secure fitting, very stable body with carbon fibre panels, excellent compression ring holder with lovely large thumbscrew, lightweight, optically superb, and, very importantly, a perfectly well-justified pricetag, which means it's well-worth it even if you can't see any difference!

I would see no reason to spend more on a 1.25" diagonal.
