Have only used it a couple of times and it has worked perfectly. Highly recommend it.
I have had this diagonal for about 2 months now, and have used it almost every time I have gone out - scopes used were a 105mm APO triplet (SV/TMB105) and Skywatcher 120 (ST120 w/modifications).
In both uses for visual, sharp, contrasty images resulted. Both low and high power (up to 240X) views on the moon and Saturn have been very highly detailed under average to above average seeing.
IMO, this is an excellent diagonal and a good mid-pricing alternative to many other diagonals out there. The unit has the facility to collimate it if needed for more precise, specialized uses, but my unit came bang on collimation. I have also recently used it as low as -18C one evening and it did very well.
Two Caveats: One, the 1.25" diagonal adapter is very stiff in cooler weather, requiring more torque than during fall or spring type conditions. Two, the three upper adapter EP screws on the 2" side are a bit overkill, but do center the adapter very well for general use. Depth is slightly shallower than some diagonals, so watch this if using extended barrel 1.25" EPs. It does have a good 2" stop to prevent any issues with the main mirror being hit.
Very impressive for a sub-$300CDN diagonal. Thanks! CS all...
Amazing telescope. Once its calibrated and level, super easy to use amazing pictures
with the new design it allows to attach it to the camera and OAG directly
Just started using it, but love the photos I got of some nebulas, especially; also, a few galaxies, and one comet. I still have lots to learn about details of the app. I haven't been able to locate the sun or moon. Using the joystick isn't so intuitive.
The 2026 book is great to have early,, also love the rock tumbler I received,,, as I rock hound by day and stargaze at night,,, lol Came fast and everything great
Very nice unit. Shipped quickly and arrived in great condition.
Easy to install, good construction, easy to adjust and holds its position without slippage. A perfect addition to the SeeStar S50!
My new Sky Watcher Dob has been everything I hope for in my new telescope. I have had few clear nights to observe but when I have, even in light polluted skies, I have seen more than I thought I would.
The order and delivery was efficient and on time. I love ordering from All Star Telescope as they have not disappointed. Highly recommend the company and this telescope.
Looking forward to clear nights!
Excellent product! Much easier to locate objects within the 2 concentric circles. It was hard though to get it going. Ended up with fresh battery and patience.
The scope fits perfectly in the bag
Was very easy to set up and connect to a iPad.
Recently purchased a telescope and several accessories. Everything was received promptly and without incident. Highly recommend and would not hesitate buying from them again. Thx.
I thought I was ordering a proper wedge for my SeeStar S50, but what arrived was basically an over-valued pan head.
Out of the box, it is a standard camera tripod head, with a quick-release plate meant for cameras, not the SeeStar. The mounting **** is 3/8-16 instead of the SeeStar’s ¼-20 thread, so I had to **** on the included adapter just to make it usable. I already own pan heads that could have done the same job.
I expected more from ZWO, although that’s on me for not researching. I should have gone with the Sky-Watcher wedge instead. Three stars because it works and the build quality is fine.
Buy it if you want the flexibility of a decent enough fluid pan head for your camera.
All Star Telescopes has a great selection of rough rocks for tumbling at good prices. I was very happy with my purchase of rocks and a Lortone tumbler. I will be back to by for this holiday season.
Love the silence! This tumbler is smoothly running, I love it.
I am impressed by ALL-STAR TELESCOPE, I’ve ordered several items and every one of them was exactly what I expected. The delivery was quick and easy to track. One of the item was slightly damaged in the shipping but one email with a picture and a few days later I received a replacement part. Very impressive.
Thanks for everything

Great service and good filter, helps to sharp edges especially for light polluted area such as my backyard
Great quality and extremely convenient. Purchased an extra drawer for times when filter isn’t being used.
It looks good. I just bought my Origin Mk II but haven’t had a chance to try it out yet due to the November cloudy skies in PG, BC.
Love it.
Makes equatorial mode on the Seestar S50 easier to achieve.
Longer exposure times available now...20 sec and 30 sec exposure time.
