Best diagonal I have.

Love the secure, positive click-lock feature. So much better than set screws. Easy to operate while wearing gloves. No screws to lose. Optically it's as good as any diagonal I've used. Is it worth the expense? I would certainly buy it again.

Brilliant!

This is a brilliant product both mechanically and optically. Yes it's expensive, but with all the money I spent on other inferior diagonals this should have been a nobrainer. My only gripe with it is that for this price they could have included the 2-1.25 adapter

Baader Planetarium MAX-2C Specifications

About Baader Planetarium MAX-2C

The Baader MAX-2C is a 2" Clicklock Mirror Diagonal. Like its predecessor, the 2" Clicklock Star Diagonal uses the Baader Dielectric mirror coatings. The Baader coating process eliminates the Achilles Heel that has plagued other all-dielectric mirror coatings - normally the multi-layer coating results in high surface stresses that cause a star diagonal's mirror to warp as much as 1/2 wave, ruining the figure and distorting the optical wavefront. Baader's proprietary coating process maintains the 1/10 wave mirror surface accuracy - After Coating!

Baader Dielectric coatings deliver an amazingly high 99% photo-visual reflectivity along with an extremely hard durable surface. The Maxbright mirror coatings will last lifetime without losing reflectivity and may be cleaned with normal care, without fear of scratches. The precision mirror is also over sized and combines with the large ID nose piece to pass the largest image cone possible in a 2" format.

The new 2" Clicklock non-marring eyepiece holder delivers the same acclaimed simplicity and security as its smaller 1.25" Clicklock cousin. With an effortless twist of the rubber knurled ring (which also includes a convenient fingertip lever), the clicklock holder clamps 2" eyepieces so securely you can lift your scope with them. The unique action utilizes 3-point clamping which positively and accurately locks 2" eyepieces without any of the wobbling and misalignment that can occur with single point clamps.
