Questions & Answers

Celestron 93573 dielectric star diagonal is compatible with the Nexstar 127SLT, or may it be used separately?

Whether you get the 1 or not depends on which option you order. There is a 25-inch version to choose from. It takes a 1 for the Nextstar 127. This will need to be scaled up from the 1.25 inch diagonal. The Celestron 93573 is available in a 25-inch version.

How do I connect this to a C.T. nextar 4SE?

I would say that, if you ask if the diagonal will fit, then The eyepiece can be of any diameter between 1 1/4" and 1 1/4". You are faced with a real problem when you take into account the weight of the eyepiece you will also use along with the diagonal's As for tracking, I'm not sure if the drive of the 4se will work In addition, if you point your telescope toward the zenith, the diagonal may touch the base of the telescope if its length is the same as its length. As a matter of fact, I own several larger Celestrons, so this is not a concern for me. We need to stay in touch with Astronomics Co. Possibly they can offer you some good ideas since they are a large distributor. In this diagonal, there are seven lines This would be 8 out of 10 for quality and fit in quite well with what you are asking for.

What is the sct adaptor (to screw the ota sct male thread on) included?

On my NexStar, the retaining ring is attached to the diagonal, and it fits perfectly. Beware of this diagonal - it is heavy and large.

Can you tell me where the stepdown adapter is? My problem is that I can't see how it could affect Two inches of diagonal can work with a 25" eyepiece. ?

With this unit, you get a 2" to 1" converter. An adapter for 25" is available. Including it in the box would be great.

Selected User Reviews For Dielectric Star Diagonal 1.25" with Twist Lock

The quality of the product is excellent
5/5

These are compatible with my Celestron Celestar C8 SCT dating back to 1999. It's nice to have the views brighter after the upgrade. The Celestron F6 is also being used. I was only able to focus on my 40mm 1 with 3 focal reducers, and 2" eyepieces. If you put any one of the 25" eyepieces in focus, it will focus. A 25" eyepiece with a focal length below 40mm cannot A William Optics SCT Adapter for Standard 2 Diagonal - It is highly recommended There is gold in the world today The SCT - It is possible to shorten the light path by using a TA smaller than what is provided with this 2-inch diagonal. As of now, I have 1 done. Eyepieces with a 25" focal length are in focus. It would have been better if Celestron had tested this more and included short fronts. Submitted for release before.

I've been using it on an older SCT without any problems
5/5

As far as I can tell, it works with my old 8" SCT with no issues. Although I have tried to use it on my new Edge HD Celestron, I am having difficulty. In order to accommodate the lenses in the focusing tube, there ought to be more space between the telescope and the diagonal. In order to find out more about it, I will continue to experiment with it.

There is an adequate diagonal lock, but there is a poor twist lock 2"
3/5

It is not possible to completely secure my ES 31/82* eyepiece using the twist lock of the 2". This eyepiece barrel clamp stays tight when used on inexpensive Meade and Celestron 2" barrels ok, but it requires a lot of twisting It works best with no taper on the barrel of the eyepiece. Additionally, the action on the 1 will be reflected in the screenshot below. Although it is better than some generic twist locks I have, its 25" twist lock is not as good as some others I've owned.

The product is designed well and is easy to use
5/5

A diagonal of 2" twist lock. The service was excellent in all aspects. This diagonal is well-built, made from heavy duty materials, has excellent fit and finish, and performs well optically as well. Aluminum rings with Celestron orange paint have a nice twist to lock feature. They are easy to see in the dark and easy to operate. I am using this on Celestron's CPC 925 HD remote.

The product is solid and of good It is very convenient to be able to twist the eyepiece to release it
5/5

Because of this feature, I selected this over a 2 inch diagonal from Meade. There is no interference with the optical system on my Meade LX200 Classic 10 inch telescope. Adapters or anything of the sort are not necessary. You should be able to screw it right in.

The views were amazing but the quality was terrible
3/5

Although the diagonal views are great, the quality of the build is lacking. The barrel of diagonal loosened up after first use, and when tightening the whole barrel would turn and make a grinding noise. I sent the first one back for replacement. I was very careful when tightening the twist lock on the second diagonal, same result The diagonal on the left is still there, but as of yet it doesn't seem to alter the view, but the quality of the picture is clearly lacking.

There is a great deal of space here Nevertheless, the quality of the view is outstanding. In 1, there are two parts. Adaptable insert with a 25 inch diameter, can be used as either 2 or These eyepieces have a 25 inch diameter. My diagonal has been upgraded to the star diagonal, and I absolutely love it.
