WO 2" Diagonal

Hola!

Does anyone have/use this diagonal? I'm thinking of delving into the realm of 2" EP's and need a diagonal. For $99 it seems like a steal! Not to mention, I don't want to pony up too much for a 2" anything until I get a feel for how much I'm going to use it.

Thanks!

Hi Joe,

I use the WO with a 102mm APO and I love it. I use it with 1.25" and a binoviewer and it has always performed very well.

Clear Skies,

I have three right now. Two are the $99 versions and I have one of the new $199 Dielectric models. Excellent quality and price.

I use one too. Best deal you can get under $100 in this business. IMHO it doesn't add anything and it doesn't take anything away - just like it should - transparent.

Take Care,

I have one, and I also have a Televue 2" Everbright diagonal. I can detect no difference (optically) when I compare the two diagonals in my C8 and Stellarvue AT1010.

The WO diagonal is slightly shorter than the Televue, and allows one particular eyepiece to come to focus in the refractor that won't with the Televue.

It also has nice flashy side panels.
