One-piece star diagonals?

Hi guys,

Does anyone else sell a 2-inch star diagonal that is a one-piece design like the Televue Everbrite? The Televue is a bit outside my price range. I currently have an Orion model with a nose piece that threads into the diagonal body. The problem is that the nose piece likes to unscrew and dangle my heavy eyepieces over the ground. Any other suggestions (beyond super glue)?

Thanks,

Mark,

Super glue isn't the correct product, but you aren't far off the answer. Use LocTite thread locker, one tiny drop on the barrel threads where it screws into the body and then quickly tighten odwn and let dry, it will never come unscrewed again.
