Getting a C8 with the 1.25" dia. would like to use some of my 2" EP's. someone said the 2" diagonal has to be threaded. My TV Everbright isn't. is there an adapter? this is my first SCT, any suggestions will be greatly helpful, regards, JM

John,
You can get a 2" visual back that will screw on to your C-8 and allow you to slide in your Everbright. I know AP sells one, some poster on another forum said they were $40. I think.

Get a diagonal that is at least 95% reflective and you will be happier. Williams Optics makes one that is relatively cheap ($99 I think). I like my Meade UHTC 2" ($129)it seems well built and bright, it is better than the Celestron one, I have had both.
