2" enhanced-mirror diagonal (needs visual back for use with SCT) by Intes-Micro S$50. Add $20 for 2"-1.25" compression ring adaptor.

oops.. I meant I was looking for one that screws into the SCT directly.
Sorry for the confusion. Thanks for the offer acc!

However, if no one has one to sell, I'll have to consider the visual back version. In the meantime still open for offers.

Is there a diagonal that screws directly onto the port of a sct? I thought
you'll need a visual back.

Yes, there are those SCT diagonal that screw directly behind the SCT: http://www.celestron.com/c2/product.php ... ProdID=403

Have a nice day.

But I think putting on a 2" visual back on the SCT and use a 2" diagonal is more versatile so that the diagonal can be used for other scopes.

i nearly forgot about this thread.
I'm trying to do projection photography so I'll need a really tight and stable fit for my heavy photo setup to the scope.

a helica focuser that connect your scope to your camera is a plus for your task. Best if you can find adapter that screw directly to your scope and camera, skip the diagonal if you can.
