This has been the Bill's review,
why I have purchased the BBHS 2" Star diagonal, which has cost me more than the old Sky-Watcher Synta 6" F/5 achro, nearly 20 years ago.
I am happy to have the Baader BBHS Star Diagonal,
JG

I agree with JG. After this article and having read the review of the 120mm Evostar by W. Rohr, I bought the 1.25 inch version. Under the guise of a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
Thanks Bill!

Well now I am going to have to find a Baader BBHS and compare it myself to the AP...
Thank you for the review Bill.

The 2" BBHS mirror is indeed an amazing unit. Between it and the Baader T2 (Zeis spec) prism, I don't even consider anything else.

Same here.
2" BBHS mirror for
DSOs and Baader T2 (Zeis spec) for planets, doubles and Moon.

That's my plan, and I'm sticking to it.

So true! I have both and yes, although pricey, once you have them you just never look back as nothing really better IMO.

Thanks, once more for a thoroughly masterful examination and comparison. You do us all a great service.

Late to this post but I am another happy user of the BBHS Silver diagonal(Bill P.) with a slight twist as I had Bill Dankmeyer of Earthwin (a great guy btw) couple this diagonal with his powerswitch/filter setup. So belated thanks to both Bills for giving me a great bit of kit

Here are some photos of my BBHS silver diagonal coupled with the Earthwin powerswitch/filter. Sorry I didn’t put these on my first post
