Alpine Astronomical Baader T-2 90° Prism Star Diagonal Housing

A part of their modular Astro T-2 system, the Alpine Astronomical Baader T-2 90° Prism Star Diagonal Housing is offered in this configuration to give you complete customization options for a range of applications. The 32mm clear aperture mirror diagonal housing has T2 male threads on one side and T2 female threads on the other. These are compatible with the Astro T-2 family of accessories, from photo and imaging adapters to eyepiece holders, ClickLock holders, nose pieces, and more. Highly reflective mirror coatings limit light loss to ensure images remain bright and clear, while the simple mirror design corrects images horizontally but leaves them laterally inverted.

Alpine Astronomical Baader Deluxe 1.25" / T-2 Eyepiece Holder

Part of their T-2 Astro modular accessory system, the Alpine Astronomical Baader Deluxe 1.25" / T-2 Eyepiece Holder is designed to provide a reliable and simple way to hold your eyepieces, diagonals, Barlows, or other accessories.

It is made with tight tolerances to minimize sloppiness and has three clamp screws to ensure the eyepiece is centered and accurately optically aligned, with a bronze compression ring to hold your gear without marking or marring the nosepiece. To help ensure tack-sharp images, the holder has a micro-focusing mechanism with 5mm of travel and a lock to set the focus. Standard T-2 internal (female) threads are machined into the telescope side of the holder.

Alpine Astronomical Baader 1.25" T-2 Nosepiece

An optional part of their modular Astro T-2 system, the Alpine Astronomical Baader 1.25" T-2 Nosepiece allows an array of accessories and eyepieces to fit into 1.25" drawtubes, focusers, and visual backs.

The nosepiece has M34 threads that accept the Baader VIP Barlow Lens or Glasspath Compensator. It also has male T-2 threads, which allow you to mount your T-2 accessories like the Baader Amici prism as well as a DSLR or imager for afocal and ocular projection photography techniques.

Top End Diagonal

The locking micro focusing mechanism (helical type focusing) is extremely smooth and will help the course primary focusing on my scope. I compared the reflectivity with two other diagonals and the Badder is superior. The finish and mechanicals are top end.

A diagonal you can customize

I bought this diagonal based on Baader's reputation and because it has the fine focus at the eyepiece which is a heck of a lot better than the normal focuser on a telescope. Then I really delved into the T-2 system. I can purchase a visual back that screws into the telescope, then remove the nose piece from the diagonal and screw the diagonal onto the visual back. This eliminates the set screws and helps you clear the base of the telescope. If you wanted to, you can even unscrew the eyepiece holder and put in a 2 eyepiece holder. Talk about versatility, this is it.
