I have one of the diagonals and can appreciate the workmanship that went into its manufacture. Definitely one of those accessories that I want to keep around.

Difference of the price should be around 200$(both 2”) Post Extras:       RAKing Postmaster Reged: 12/28/07 Loc: West of the D.C. Nebula Re: Astro-Physics Maxbright 2" Diagonal [Re: Mike Loffland]       #5181362 - 04/20/12 08:22 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Nice review. I used TV diagonals for years, but switched to the A-P Maxbright last year. The optics are virtually the same (excellent!), but the reason I switched is the angled "safety" cut on the A-P is a better fit in all of my focusers compared to the Televue's groove. The A-P fits tight, with no tendency to rock or pop loose.

One quibble - the body is not machined from one piece like the Televue Everbrite. The nosepiece can unscrew and as far as I know, so can the eyepiece holder.
