This filter wheel I am thinking may be my next acquisition. I have been mulling this over for a long time.

Is this the mirror or the prism diagonal JG? It looks like the BBHS Sital mirror diagonal which I have recently acquired. It is a wonderful piece of kit.
And the Docter and I have become very close companions. 😊

Thank you JG for these great images. Clear skies and moderate temperatures to you soon I hope!

Nice setup JG! Gotta love those BBHS mirrors. I am contemplating Baader 2" prism as my next diagonal purchase.

I have somewhat different configuration for the 2" filter wheel. I have it in front of the diagonal. It is connected to the 2" noise on one side and via adapter ring to the diagonal body on the other side. This configuration saves some focuser travel.

Hello Mark,
yes, it is the zenith mirror diagonal. I am sure, you enjoy yours!

Hello Andrey,
as I am using the 1.25" filters, the filter wheels (I have two ATIK), are between the diagonal mirror (and prism) and the 1.25" eyepiece tube.

Clear skies to all good people,
JG
