Orion 2" 90° Enhanced Mirror Star Diagonal

5.0 Orion Enhanced 2" Mirror Diagonal

Solid build and construction; Brass compression rings; Threaded for 2" filters; 97% reflectivity.

None

This is a beautifully machined diagonal that comes out of Taiwan. It sports a claim of 97% reflectivity, machined-threaded baffles, anodized aluminum housing, brass compression rings for the main body, and 1.25" adapter. Oh, and did I mention the nose is threaded to accept 2" filters of your choice? What's not to like about this diagonal, priced around $90 from Orion.

I must admit that is is not as sexy looking as the original William Optics diagonal, which was the buy of the century when it first appeared, but it holds its own quite well...thank you. Views were everything I would expect from a premium diagonal - bright and contrasty with no distortions or aberrations that I could detect. Build quality is excellent, backed by a warranty and Orion's excellent customer service. I would say that this is another great bargain when it comes to affordable 2" enhanced mirror diagonals. It's a keeper!
