[6 x 5 x 1.4"] Hello! This item fits very well to my meade etx-ls but Im looking for an adapter to fix it on my celestron cpc1100. do you have an adapter that could fix it securely on my new telescope? Thank you! to answer me. 5

[6 x 5 x 1.4"] I used the Vixen flip mirror with my Televue 85mm telescope and Canon digital camera to photograph the 21.08.2017 total eclipse from western Kentucky. The flip mirror fit securely in the 2 focuser on the telescope. The right angle port with the eyepiece tube removed accepted the T-ring for the Canon camera. This was especially helpful given the 62 degree elevation of the sun and made focusing through the camera viewfinder easy. In other photography situations an eyepiece can be used in either port with the camera in the other. 5

[6 x 5 x 1.4"] I purchased the Vixen Flip Mirror Diagonal for Astrophotography, therefore, I needed to also buy some accessories. Thanks to fellow reviewer, I was able to get all the accessories at the same time as the mirror. My setup: Celestron EdgeHD 11 - Tele Vue Schmidt-Cassegrain Adapter-Long - Vixen Flip Mirror - T-Mount for Canon EF-M Canon Camera. On the upper tube of the mirror: Vixen #37292 T-Thread to 2 Eyepiece Adapter 2 Celestron 29mm eyepice. 5

[0.55 lb] This is a great little unit up until I started using this flip mirror I was having a hard time taking photos with my universal set up this eliminates all of the vibrations in the telescope and allows me to really zoom into my target while the telescope slews .. great product....phil 5

[0.55 lb] As the others said, don't forget to buy the TeleVue 2 to SCT adapter to go with this, unscrew the back tube and use the T-mount adapter direct. You might also want (as I bought) some parfocal rings for the eyepieces (not available at B&H but maybe they will add them) My setup is complete, this easily flips between perfectly focused eyepiece and perfectly focused SLR. Can't wait to drive out to the star park! 5

[6 x 5 x 1.4"] Excellent package--got as first scope for beginning astronomer. Wanted a large aperture scope at a reasonable price. Optics superb for the price of this combination mount/optical tube assembly. Altazmith mount is superb, with fine adjustments for tracking. The total combination is easily portable. 5

[0.55 lb] Couple this adapter with the Vixen 2” flip-mirror for an ideal combo. Allows easy stable switching between eyepiece sizes and easy framing for your image. 5
