Hi,

I had good conditions for observing Venus with an enhanced aluminum star diagonal, the CED1 and the CED2. I took my Chromacor II out of my 6" f/8 achromat.

I made sketches using each diagonal. I tried to sketch as accurately as I could. Anyway, hopefully this might give some kind of idea of what the differences in overall detail may be when viewing this specific object

Below is with a stock star diagonal.

Best,
