Diagonal #R1 For Refractors
Allows any Denkmeier Binoviewer to be loaded into the eyepiece receptacle for 3 magnifications with a single pair of eyepieces. The Special 2" Low Power S Cell included with this diagonal must be threaded into the Power x Switch Diagonal housing or Diagonal Nosepiece on telescope-side for focus to be reached.
                                                                                    
                                                Diagonal #R1 Shown With The 2" Low Power S Cell
                                                                


Our Dovetail Connector is included and this allows any Denk Binoviewer to be quickly connected directly to the star diagonal housing eliminating the eyepiece holder. No tools are required and this exchange can be done in seconds. Remember that all Power x Switch Diagonals can be used like any regular 2" star diagonal as well. While multiplication, normal and also a reduction is possible with single eyepieces, #R1 is primarily designed for the purpose of allowing focus at three magnifications with a binoviewer while using one pair of eyepieces. The Dovetail Connector changes focus positions and primarily produces more back focus in the low power #R1 With Low Power S Cell mode (less in-travel required when it is used).

Use this "Power x Switch Star Diagonals Manual" link to see details and specific operating instructions for using #R1. This manual includes guidelines for selecting eyepieces also.

NEW! Diagonal #R1 For Tak FSQ 106 Refractors
This special #R1 has been designed to allow the Denk Binoviewer to reach low, mid, and high magnifications with a single pair of eyepieces in the Takahashi 106 FSQ Refractor. Just add a Denk Binoviewer to this diagonal and you are ready to go (See "Binoviewers Ala Carte" in the left column). Single eyepieces also have a normal and barlow magnification function so this 2" diagonal functions with the FSQ for single eyepiece usage as well. This diagonal includes our special Optical Adapter that mates to your FSQ back. The Denk adapter contains the necessary optical component that will allow a Denk Binoviewer to reach focus at three magnifications of approximately 1.5X/2.5X and 3.5X when used with the Diagonal's Power x Switch on the eyepiece-side of the #R1 Diagonal. This adapter will lock to the telescope-side of the diagonal and then the assembly threads onto your FSQ refractor visual back. Then, the dovetail Connector (included) mates the Denk Binoviewer to the eyepiece-side of this diagonal. The 2" eyepiece receptacle of the diagonal is popped off after loosening the no-tool thumbscrews. See "Dovetail Connector"  in the Power x Switch Diagonal Manual available online under "Download manuals" for visual details.  A non-optical adapter is also included that allows your single eyepiece views to take place with the FSQ and our 2" diagonal. Just choose the "R1 for Tak FSQ" as an option when adding the #R1 Diagonal ito your shopping cart.

Note: This is very new. Pictures and details will be forthcoming (picture is duplicate of R1 until we can get a photo online: The main difference is that the Special optical adapter replaces the low power S cell of R1 and an additional non-optical adapter is also included). Call with questions! In-stock.
