Water white glass transmits about 90.5% of light without anti-reflective coatings; that’s 3.5% better than uncoated soda lime glass.

An integral part of the optical chain, a good diagonal can make a big difference in the quality of the image you see. A 2” diagonal is required if you want to use 2” eyepieces when observing with your telescope. The larger 2” barrel allows you to see a bigger percentage of the telescope’s light cone, which works wonders for capturing faint deep sky objects with low surface brightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Celestron 2” Mirror Diagonal was built for superior performance. The housing is machined with precision instruments to make sure the optics stay perfectly aligned. The diagonal’s mirror is tested with an interferometer, and is guaranteed to be 1\/10 wave or better. The mirror’s surface is covered with the same high performance XLT coatings used on Celestron’s best telescopes, and the result is a sharp, bright image that will satisfy the most discriminating amateur astronomer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 2” diagonal threads securely to the rear cell of standard Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes. To take advantage of the XLT Diagonal’s extra light throughput, insert a 2” eyepiece into the barrel. If you want to use 1.25” eyepieces, slide the included 2” to 1.25” adapter into the eyepiece barrel and secure it with the thumbscrew.

You can walk around your observing site, read star charts, or even grab that eyepiece you left in your gear bag, all while preserving your night vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eRigorously tested to ensure reliability and longevity, the Celestron Night Vision Red Headlamp provides up to 100 hours of continuous illumination, when set to the low brightness setting. That means you can rely on your headlamp to accompany you through countless stargazing sessions, camping trips, and outdoor adventures without worrying about running out of power. And if you do run out of juice, simply pop in fresh batteries and keep going—no need to find a power source and wait to recharge via USB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"mso-element: comment-list;\" data-mce-style=\"mso-element: comment-list;\"\u003e\n\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"mso-element: comment;\" data-mce-style=\"mso-element: comment;\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- [if !supportAnnotations]--\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"msocomtxt\" id=\"_com_1\" onmouseout=\"msoCommentHide('_com_1')\" onmouseover=\"msoCommentShow('_anchor_1','_com_1')\" language=\"JavaScript\"\u003e\n\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-comment-author: 'Ron Peters'; mso-comment-providerid: AD; mso-comment-userid: 'S::rpeters\\@celestron\\.com::486ad8f8-3668-4414-b940-ed7083b1ddba';\" data-mce-style=\"mso-comment-author: 'Ron Peters'; mso-comment-providerid: AD; mso-comment-userid: 'S::rpeters\\@celestron\\.com::486ad8f8-3668-4414-b940-ed7083b1ddba';\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportAnnotations]--\u003e\u003ca name=\"_msocom_1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportAnnotations]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Celestron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43234674573487,"sku":"93581","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1935\/4371\/files\/93581_Night_Vision_Red_Headlamp_01_fcd962c5-0bc3-4a30-af50-b1327c3a194d.jpg?v=1726697909"},{"product_id":"used-night-vision-red-headlamp-1","title":"Used - Night Vision Red Headlamp","description":"","brand":"Celestron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46688015319215,"sku":"U93581","price":11.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1935\/4371\/files\/93581_Night_Vision_Red_Headlamp_01_fcd962c5-0bc3-4a30-af50-b1327c3a194d.jpg?v=1726697909"},{"product_id":"used-aluminum-dew-shield-with-cover-cap-11","title":"Used - Aluminum Dew Shield with Cover Cap - 11\"","description":"","brand":"Celestron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46688219529391,"sku":"U94023","price":259.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1935\/4371\/products\/94023_Aluminum_Dew_Shield_with_Cover_Cap_11in_01_c3e6ae89-61f5-47f7-af1c-e4a30907c587.jpg?v=1640111698"},{"product_id":"used-powertank-lithium","title":"Used - PowerTank Lithium","description":"","brand":"Celestron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47076168990895,"sku":"U18771","price":125.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1935\/4371\/files\/18771_PowerTank_Lithium_1200x1200_b16d4117-54a0-4985-ad18-5f79acddd68e.jpg?v=1684281527"},{"product_id":"used-x-cel-lx-9mm-eyepiece-1-25","title":"Used - X-Cel LX 9mm Eyepiece - 1.25\"","description":"","brand":"Celestron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47076187766959,"sku":"U93423","price":76.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1935\/4371\/products\/93423-X-Cel-LX.jpg?v=1603736948"},{"product_id":"used-eclipsmart-solar-filter-for-powerseeker-127eq-nexstar-130slt-starsense-explorer-dx-130az-starsense-explorer-lt-127az-astro-fi-130-omni-xlt-az-130-skyprodigy-130-telescopes","title":"Used - EclipSmart Solar Filter for PowerSeeker 127EQ, NexStar 130SLT, StarSense Explorer DX 130AZ, StarSense Explorer LT 127AZ, Astro Fi 130, Omni XLT AZ 130, SkyProdigy 130 Telescopes","description":"","brand":"Celestron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081168437423,"sku":"U94222","price":19.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1935\/4371\/products\/94222_EclipSmart_Solar_Filter_PowerSeeker_127EQ_AstroFi_130_NexStar_130SLT_Omni_XLT_AZ_130_SkyProdigy_130_01.jpg?v=1673561105"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1935\/4371\/collections\/tsp2023-banner.jpg?v=1682636403","url":"https:\/\/www.celestron.com\/collections\/texas-star-party-2023.oembed?page=3","provider":"Celestron","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
