SVBONY SV223 1.25” Telescope Diagonal, 90 Degree Dielectric Mirror

What we liked

  • + Clicklock mechanism clamps the eyepiece with a fast locking action for a stable, secure fit, per the listing
  • + Thick precision optical flat mirror with an enhanced dielectric coating stated at 99% reflectivity
  • + Aluminum body with internal antireflection baffling and a brass compression ring to protect eyepiece barrels

Trade-offs

  • - Priced well above basic 1.25 inch dielectric diagonals, so the clicklock collar is what you are paying for
  • - 1.25 inch only: wide-field 2 inch eyepieces need a 2 inch diagonal and focuser instead
