Please Note: The Evostar 72 does not include a diagonal or eyepieces for visual use. We recommend a 2" diagonal with 1.25" adapter so you can use both 2" & 1.25" eyepieces and other barreled accessories. If you decide to get a 1.25" diagonal, remember that you will need an adapter to reduce the focuser barrel size from 2" to 1.25". See the Recommended Accessories section, above, for a selection .
