From the stargazing enthusiast to the professional astronomer, the SCT RitchField Kit for Celestron C8 Telescope is a must-have accessory. This comprehensive kit includes a 2" 90-degree Everbrite Diagonal, a 2" to 1.25" Eyepiece Adapter, and an SCT Adapter (Visual Back), all designed to enhance your celestial viewing experience.
The DSF-8002 2" 90-degree Everbrite Dielectric Diagonal is a standout feature of this kit. It boasts an exotic, nonmetallic, dielectric coating that is 99% reflective across the full visual spectrum. This results in whiter, brighter, and more natural images, allowing you to view the cosmos as never before. The coating is meticulously applied to Pyrex with a surface accuracy of a 1/10 wave flatness, ensuring superior performance. Each mirror is optically inspected under stringent conditions to guarantee that your telescope operates at its maximum potential.
The Everbrite Diagonal's body is precision-machined from solid blocks of aluminum, ensuring permanent alignment. Its one-piece body construction prevents heavy accessories from forcing the diagonal body to unscrew from the barrel, a common issue with other brands. The diagonal also features a brass clamp ring, anti-reflection threads, and 48mm filter threads for added functionality.
The included ASF-8125 2" to 1.25" Adapter, also known as the "high-hat" adapter, is specially designed to keep Tele Vue Barlows and Powermate amplifiers away from the diagonal mirror. This ensures optimal performance and longevity of your equipment.
Lastly, the ACC-0003 SCT Adapter threads onto the standard Celestron C8 visual back, allowing the use of standard 2" eyepiece accessories like the Everbrite diagonal mirror. For situations where SCT fork swing-through clearance is an issue, simply attach our Flat Top 2"-1 1/4" Adapter to your 1 1/4" eyepieces to convert them into low-profile 2" eyepieces.
In summary, the SCT RitchField Kit for Celestron C8 Telescope is a comprehensive solution for enhancing your stargazing experience, offering superior performance, durability, and versatility.
