Hi,

I just recently entered the refractor side of astronomy and am wondering what a high quality, lightweight diagonal would be? Any particulary noteworthy pieces? I have been looking at the Meade UHTC 2" mirrored and the Televue standard. What is your opinon? Any hints on what to stay away from / what is the best buy?
PS: I dont have the money ($270) for the "Everbright".

Thanks,
Marc

I would recommend the William's Optics diagonal. For $99.00 you can't beat it with a stick! Solid construction and has brass compression ring for those expensive eyepieces. I loved the William's diagonal, I compared it to my TV everbrite and I saw no visual difference.

Clear Skies,
David Pope
