Added new pic to show green multi coating of the internal prism. ( this is not a mirror prism. I find a slightly better contrast with the images seen through a prism diagonal like a tak prism diagonal)

is it a erect image type? is the visual back fixed to the diagonal or sold together with the diagonal?

Yes, it can also be used for refractors, It is not an erect image diagonal,

The visual back will make it treadable to a sct, the visual back is an additional item, can be detachable from the diagonal.

Sorry, sorry, did not meant to mislead, the 1.25" visual back is also $35, Got confused when i priced them in posting. :(
Visual back lets you connect 1.25 eyepieces to SCT for straight collimation.

both for $70 only.

Can be sold seperately.
