The Celestron 2-inch XLT Diagonal (SCT) is an accessory designed specifically for Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes (SCTs), which include Celestron's own line of SCT telescopes like the Celestron CPC, NexStar, and other similar models. Here are some key features and information about this diagonal:
-
Compatibility: The XLT Diagonal is compatible with Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes that have a 2-inch focuser. It is particularly useful for larger SCTs that can accept 2-inch eyepieces and accessories.
-
Optical Coatings: The "XLT" in the name stands for "Xtra Low Reflection Coatings." Celestron applies these coatings to the diagonal mirror surfaces to minimize light loss due to reflections, thus improving overall image brightness and contrast.
-
Enhanced Light Transmission: The use of high-quality optical coatings helps in transmitting more light to the eyepiece, resulting in sharper and brighter views of celestial objects.
-
Diagonal Design: The diagonal's design allows you to achieve comfortable viewing angles when observing objects through the telescope. It redirects the light path by 90 degrees, making it easier to view objects overhead without straining your neck.
-
Construction: Typically, Celestron diagonals are well-engineered with a robust build quality. The housing is often made from durable materials to ensure stability and reliability over time.
-
Usage: A diagonal like this is essential for terrestrial and astronomical observations with SCT telescopes. It allows you to use standard 2-inch eyepieces and other 2-inch accessories, expanding the versatility of your telescope setup.
