Hi all,

This is a brand new item, never been used in the field. US selling it for US$44 plus maybe another US$10 for shipping it here. So total new price could be USD$54 = SGD$90 if you were to buy it from US.

Will sell it for SGD$50

Hi Vince,
How does this compare with the Televue mirror diagonal you sold me earlier?
I've always assumed that Televue stuff are always better than Meade...probably I'm wrong. Also, I believe there was a previous discussion some time back on pros and cons of mirror/prism diagonals...

Hi Vince.. is it a diagonal suited for SCT's.. I recently got a C5 f/6 lens.. was trying to use the diagonal from my refractor but it could not focus well..

Yes, it's meant for the SCT.

rich, both about the same. I doubt you can see much difference at the eyepiece. If you already have the TV, you don't need to buy this.

Hi Vincent... yes celestron used to sell a C5 f/6 which they used to call 750mm f/6 telephoto lens.. It comes with a 1.25" visual back.. I could use the my celestron diagonal.. I can get the focus but its a bit difficult... so I was thinking of trying a diagonal meant for SCT which probably can be screwed on the visual back directly.

is your celestron diagonal mirror or prism? The one that I have need to be screwed down by the visual back also.

i have to check.. it is set screw type diagonal.. I guess its prism diagonal.. its a celestron star diagonal #94115-A.. works wonderfully with my short tube though.. thats why I thot I could use it on visual back of this celestron telephoto lens..
