The Denkmeier 2" Power x Switch Diagonal #R2 for Refractors
#R2
provides tremendous versatility allowing a binoviewer to move through
up to 6 different magnifications with a low 1.26X power factor to a
high power of 3.2X with 4 magnifications in-between. This is because it
includes two Power x Switches: one on each side of the diagonal
housing. Slide out the binoviewer and slide in a single eyepiece and
move through up to 7 magnifications ranging from .76 reduction to 2.3X
multiplication. This diagonal can also be used for F/10 SCTs allowing
focal reduction and barlowing in binoviewers and single eyepieces.
Uses of Diagonal #R2
The
R2 Diagonal has been designed to allow use of a binoviewer or single
eyepiece and creates instant magnifications changes when the Power x
Switch Arms are used. The observer may change from Binoviewer to single
eyepiece without removing the diagonal from the telescope. There is
nothing to unscrew or remove from the diagonal when moving between
binoviewer and single eyepiece use. R2 provides up to 7 varying
magnifications when using a single eyepiece and up to 6 varying
magnifications when using a binoviewer. Any Denk Binoviewer can be
loaded into the eyepiece tube of #R2 and no additional
corrector system or Power x Switch needs to be used. The Binoviewer Optical Corrector System is included
and self-contained as part of the #R2 Diagonal. Changing magnifications
takes seconds! Some re-focusing is required.
IS This Diagonal Suitable For All Refractors?
Because
#R2 is fairly heavy and contains two 2" format Power x Switches, the
Refractor mount must be robust enough to handle this very special star
diagonal. The four fully multi-coated optics are 2" format and are
fairly heavy themselves! The weights of all Power x Switch Star
diagonals are included in the manual and focuser travel requirements
are covered in the manual charts. We love this unit on our comany's Tak
FS102 and EM1 mount so it certainly can be used on mid-size refractors
with well made mounts.
