2" Diagonal

[Astroglide65]

Hello everybody,

I have a David H Levy Mak-Newton telescope I'm using with either my ZWOASI224MC or my Sony a6000 cameras. To get them to focus I have to use both of the extender tubes that came with the 'scope. Sometimes the long length of it all gets in the way or has about knocked my head off so I'm wondering if a 2" Diagonal can be used to get everything out of the way and makes seeing the camera's monitor. Probably could do away with one of the extension tubes. I have looked at several types but it keeps saying they are for SCT's or Refractor's......will they not work on my Mak-Newt? If they would what's a good medium price 2"Dia. to choose?

Thanks,
Dano

Diagonals are not designed to work with Newtonian style telescopes, the light path through the 2" would probably be longer than your extensions.
