Few people realize what lengths amateur astronomers will go to at times to catch a glimpse of the night sky. Some of the neck-breaking angles telescopes contort us into are far from comfortable, but they seem unavoidable when you’re after the perfect view. Fortunately, Meade recognizes the dilemma, and they produce high-quality products that save your neck and your night of viewing. Enter the humble diagonal.

Your Meade telescope can trace its history all the way back to a 1972 issue of Sky and Telescope magazine. The company continually produces exceptional telescopes, such as their ETX 90, allowing amateur astronomers of all skill levels to see the sky like never before. A diagonal is an excellent accessory to help you look through your eyepiece when the telescope is trained straight up and getting lined up with that eyepiece is, otherwise, a feat.
Diagonals, also called star diagonals, let you view objects at a 90-degree angle, a huge advantage when the best targets lie overhead. The Meade 2” Diagonal with SCT Adapter, in particular, is a quality choice, with optics made from thermally-stable genuine Pyrex glass and an adapter that accommodates two different barrel eyepiece sizes.If you have any questions as to which Meade diagonal or diagonal accessory is right for you, our non-commissioned product advisors are happy to help!
