Designed specifically for single eyepiece use in an SCT and allows focal reduction, normal and 2X magnifications instantly.
Switch Between Three Magnifications In Seconds:The Patent Pending SCT 2” Power Switch Star Diagonal™ from Denkmeier Optical allows instant changing from normal magnification to F/6.6 focal reduction or 2X amplification with one eyepiece in seconds. Just push in a Power Switch Arm and focus the telescope. Every Power Switch Star Diagonal includes the necessary adapter to attach to your Meade® or Celestron® 8”-16” SCTs.
Fully Multi-Coated Optics: Every Denkmeier SCT Power Switch Diagonal includes our 40mm diameter custom designed lenses that are Fully Multi-Coated for extremely high light transmission and outstanding contrast. Each star diagonal mirror is 10mm thick and figured to 1/10 wave with dielectric coatings providing 99% reflectivity.
Adapters Included:A brass compression-ring style adapter that threads onto your SCT visual back is included with this Power Switch Star Diagonal. The adapter contains two thumb-screws that provide increased stability to prevent the diagonal from unwanted rotation during use. Also included is a 2”/1.25” adapter allowing either 1.25” or 2” eyepieces to be used.
Why Use Three Eyepieces When You Can Use One?You should plan on selling some of your eyepieces because you won’t be needing them anymore. You will spend more time observing every object at three magnifications rather than loading and removing eyepieces! Keep an eyepiece in the scope and Power Switch! It’s fun, saves time and allows you to concentrate on the task at hand; Observing the Cosmos. Also saves you money on eyepieces because fewer are needed!
