Diagonals and Prisms
Vernonscope 1/20th Wave Quartz Star Diagonals
Both Vernonscope 2" 1/20th wave diagonals (silver and gold) are built in the USA around a quartz flat with reflective coating and a protective quartz overcoat. The 2" diagonal will take 2" eyepieces or 1.25" with an adapter.
Mirrors are guaranteed to have interferometry results of at least 1/20th wave PV (Peak to Valley Measurement). Each quartz piece has a serial number and comes with an interferogram with the results of the surface testing for the quartz in your diagonal.
The gold mirror will give a warmer view. It has better performance in the infrared spectrum and has gathered interest for night vision astronomy.

1.25" Silver Coated Diagonal
2" Erect Image Amici Prism Diagonal
This 2" and 1.25" image erectors have a prism in the base housing and are designed to correct the inverted image. This design works great with refractors like the Master Birder. Birds and sail boats are not inverted. The moon is also in the correct orientation as we see it with our own eyes. Caps included. The cost for the 1.25" image erector is $189. The cost for the 2" image erector is $199.
