[1x 1/4" Male] I'm very satisfied with the price and shipping time. The price was much lower than any other place I looked. Fast shipping to Canada. The item arrived in mint condition. This diagonal model from Celestron is very robust and convenient. It is ideal for holding a binoviewer with a pair of heavy zooms. I really appreciate the twist-lock function. It is smooth yet offering a clean and solid grip. Eyepieces can be replaced in no time. The whole assembly is of high quality material. Top tier scopes like the 8SE deserve to be equipped with such high-end diagonal instead of the 1.25 standard that comes with them. It opens the doors to many possibilities.

[1x 1/4" Male] Solid, well made, and works as advertised.  I use it for panoramic shots on a P1 ball head.  Took a little adjusting, but that was easy.

[3' / 0.9 m] What's not to like, I just received this about an hour ago and it has been cloudy for the last few days, now it is raining. Typical for an astro purchase.
This diagonal is just what my Celestron 8 has been needing, the twist lock is extremely nice, the heft and looking at the glass inside is just perfect.
I will leave another review after the cloud gods have forgiven my purchase and I get it out under the night sky.


As always B&H is great on price and shipping, I am a long time customer and always satisfied with them.

[3' / 0.9 m] I bought this to see if I could improve the view on my celestron 102mm refractor.
The image is crystal clear and the ease of a simple twist to lock the eyepiece in is a welcome bonus.
The build is very impressive and screams quality.
It is simple to use, works well and value for money.
Big thanks to the guys at B&H outstanding all the way...

[Neutrik] Images are bright and clean. I especially love the twist lock since some of my 100 degree eyepieces are rather large. The design allows you to quickly change out eyepieces and hold them securely.
Great product!

[3' / 0.9 m] This diagonal has changed me for the better. I have another 2 inch diagonal that I was always fumbling with the tiny set screws to lock and unlock eyepieces and sometimes dropping them in the grass.
No More, the twist lock function on this is just great, no more fumbling with the screws. With the included snout it can be used as either an SCT or refractor diagonal.
Absolutely a fine product and for my shaky old hands, a blessing.


As always a great product and great shipping from B&H.

[3' / 0.9 m] I got this diagonal to upgrade from the 1.25 diagonal that came with the telescope. It appears to be of good quality and I really like the twist lock feature to secure the eyepieces. This is the only diagonal I have used, so I really cannot make a comparison to others, but I am pleased with the bright and clear views it provides.

[1x 1/4" Male] I am using this on a Celeron Xlt102 refractor. It comes with a cheap plastic diagonal. With this diagonal I can now see some pinpoint stars on some globular clusters

[3' / 0.9 m] My original Star Diagonal had a plastic body, I ended up over twisting the lens into it which cracked the body and never allowed me to secure the eye piece on properly again. This replacement was a great upgrade, quality and feel is awesome, eye piece changes are quick and precise.
