Celestron 90-Degree Mirror Diagonal (2") for SCT Scopes
Key Features
  • Upright, Laterally-Reversed Images
  • Fits Catadioptric 2"-18 Rear Threads
  • Starbright XLT Coatings
The Celestron 90-Degree Mirror Diagonal (2") is a star diagonal with StarBright XLT coating, for use with Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes with the 2"-18 threaded device.

Star diagonal is the term commonly associated with 90° mirror diagonals such as this, which let you view objects that are at a 90° angle from the direction the telescope is pointing.  This allows quite comfortable viewing when the telescope is at or near the zenith (directly overhead), and is fairly comfortable when observing terrestrial imagery as well-albeit a bit unorthodox at first.

Celestron 93527 Overview

The Celestron 90-Degree Mirror Diagonal (2") is a star diagonal with StarBright XLT coating, for use with Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes with the 2"-18 threaded device.

Star diagonal is the term commonly associated with 90° mirror diagonals such as this, which let you view objects that are at a 90° angle from the direction the telescope is pointing.  This allows quite comfortable viewing when the telescope is at or near the zenith (directly overhead), and is fairly comfortable when observing terrestrial imagery as well-albeit a bit unorthodox at first.

Celestron's erect image diagonals are Amici prism designs, meaning that images are upright and laterally correct.  This design, however, instead renders images which are laterally reversed but are brighter than erect image diagonals.  This diagonal is used with 2" focusers and can be used with either 2.00" or 1.25" eyepieces, thanks to the included adapter which reduces the eyepiece barrel diameter to accept the smaller size.  

StarBright XLT coating system offers multi-layer enhanced mirror coatings, which shift the peak reflectance to the center of the visible spectrum. The coating process uses state-of-the-art thin film vacuum deposition technology. To ensure consistent optical coatings of the highest quality the process is tightly monitored and controlled by highly trained coating technicians.
Improved attachment design features a brass clamping ring which does not mar, and provides a more secure connection.
Accepts 2" filters for astronomical applications.

Very bright/solid construction

By Richard
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-01-02

Just getting back into observational astronomy after a hiatus of about 20 years. I purchased my 11 inch Schmidt Cassegrain telescope in an estate sale which only came with the OTA and the tripod. I needed a diagonal and was leaning towards a two inch since I still have a nice collection Televue 2" eyepieces from the early 2000s. I did a lot of research since I've been away from the hobby for so long and this star diagonal kept popping up on top 10 lists when I googled top 2 inch diagnose for SCT''s. I decided to take the plunge just before Christmas and saw B&H had a really great price. Shipping was really fast from New York to Boston and I was observing two days after I ordered it! Keep in mind this was first light with this telescope. I've never looked through it before receiving this diagonal. To say I was excited would be an understatement. And boy it did not disappoint! My last telescope back in 2003 was a 16 inch Newtonian reflector and I had heard many times the SCTs were much darker than the large Dob I was used to. However, I was very impressed with how bright this diagonal turned out to be. Stars were razor sharp and very bright from my light polluted back yard. I was also very impressed with the solid construction of this diagonal. This is the top that has the brass insert with threaded bolt to retain the other pieces. The construction was very well done with no parts moving once the eyepiece and diagonal were in place and tightened. The threading fit the scope perfectly and it was very easy to get on and off the OTA. As an added bonus the diagonal comes with a wonderful metal carrying case with foam padding to protect your investment. Although I don't have any other diagnoses to compare this to I am very happy with my purchase and certain I will use it for years to come. Now I just need a Telrad!

Very nice addition

Put this on a C8 and prefer it to the 1-1/4 diagonal.

Can I use it with a Alpine Astronomical Baader Diamond Steeltrack Crayford Focuser for SCTs?
Asked by: Rodrigo
The 90-Degree Mirror Diagonal (2-) for SCT Scopes is not made to slide into a Crayford Focuser but to attach directly to the rear cell of SCT telescopes. The Celestron Dielectric Star Diagonal 2" #93573 comes with two interchangeable adapters which allows to switch between a Schmidt-Cassegrain thread adapter and a 2” barrel adapter that would work in a Crayford Focuser.

Will this fit a Celestron NexStar Evolution 6". should I just get the the other 1.25" Dielectric Diagonal(with the orange Twist-lock)
Asked by: Matthew
Hi ! This diagonal fits Celestron 6 SCT, BUT thing about 6" OTA is that is it focused on using 1,25 accesuaries. The baffle opening on it's back is only 27mm in diameter, and that's why it is useless to use 2 inch eyepieces for example.
