Skywatcher vari-angle diagonal

[Danny]

Hello,

Does anyone out there have experience of the Skywatcher vari-angle mirror diagonal? Seems like a god deal if you are doing both terrestrial viewing and astronomy because it goes from 45 degrees to 90 degrees.

Do you know if the image is corrected? If not, that would rule out daytime use. And perhaps diminish it's appeal.

HI rus,

The mirror diagonal gives a reversed left right orientation but upright. Why can't it be used terrestrially? Isn't it just a question of getting used to it? The shallow angle allows for comfortable daytime viewing compared with a 90 degree diagonal. Has anyone actually used one though and if so, how did it perform?
