Is there anything worth upgrading here.
I have no complaint, but I am wondering if I can improve my view.
Any comments and advice will be much appreciated.
It could be I just have too much time on my hands.... :-)
Thank you.
Certainly a valid point. I don't think I'd go so far to say as the diagonal doesn't matter. All I meant was between mid level dielectrics and upper mid level, I don't notice enough difference to justify the cost. Of course, I'd love to get a diagonal that's half the price of myBigzmey wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2019 7:23 pm I have some what different take on this. Diagonal is a part of light train which is as good as the weakest link. Many of us has good amount of money invested in good quality EPs. It is a bit silly to invest in $200-300 EP and put a stock diagonal in front.

I am now viewing the sky with the Baader BBHS Sitall Max 2S diagonal.
I have had it out only once and posted an observing report. "Pinball Wizard at Penfield".
I have not made any side by side compares yet. I will do that in future just for fun. This is a lifetime mirror diagonal and I LOVE the Baader Locking mechanism!
