Manufacturer Description

Introducing New 2015 model William Optics Dura-Bright diagonal - a dramatic step forward in the evolution of mirror diagonals! This 90° 1.25" mirror-type star diagonal from William Optics # D-125D-C-DB has a Dura-Bright mirror with 1/12 wave surface accuracy and dielectric mirror coatings for 99% reflectivity which provides higher contrast and resolution during critical planetary, lunar and binary star observations. Features a 1.25" nosepiece for insertion into refractor telescopes and other 1.25" focuser barrels.

Dura-Bright features 100% real carbon fiber side plates that add that touch of class your scope deserves.

The WO 1.25" Dura-Bright Diagonal was designed with several unique features to provide optimum performance and years of use.

  • Internal anti-reflection baffling for highest contrast.
  • Real Carbon Fiber side plates

Superbly Constructed

      5.0 Excellent Diagonal at a Great Price

      Pros:

      Cons:

      Comments:

      Not only great to look at, but a very well made diagonal. High precision alignment, stars look the same with the diagonal in place as they do without the diagonal in place. Much higher quality than the TV diagonal it replaced.
