Essential Accessory for Skywatcher Star Adventurer II
I couldn't be happier with this item. It allows me to align my Star Adventurer 2i mount with Polaris without contorting my old body to see though the polar scope. Very good quality, great prism, I really like to the two levels of magnification and the rotation ability. The Canon 18mm adapter included (there are others) works great with my Canon 70D DSLR. Nice little carry bag included. Wonderful product.
Compatible with Skywatcher HEQ5
I have strained my neck innumerable times trying to look through the polar finderscopes on my mounts. This device solves the problem. So far I have attached it to a Skywatcher Star Adventurer II, to a Celestron AVX mount with (optional) optical finderscope, and to a Skywatcher HEQ5, and it fits perfectly on all three (the polar finderscopes on all three are made very similarly it seems).
Does it fit on a Sky Guider Pro?
For those of you who was wondering if it fit well on a I-optron SkyGuider Pro, Yes it does really well. One of my only qualms with the SkyGuiderPro is the annoyance of getting on your butt to get a good polar alignment. This helps BIG TIME!

I like that it saves this old body with broken back and aches and pains, having to contort like a gymnastic to look through the polar scope.Focus gave me a bit of problem last time I used it.User error Iโm sure.

Love the ease of installation. Makes aligning my StarGuider Pro much easier. The light green plastic adapter is not that great however. When trying to tighten the white plastic screws enough to prevent rotation of the eyepiece it sounded like the raised threaded portion of that piece was cracking. So now I'm afraid it will eventually fail with minimal use cycles. I guess I could just tape it in place, but I'd prefer taking it off after aligning. If that adapter were metal I would give this product 5 stars!

It still seems a little expensive for what it is, but this right angle viewfinder has made polar alignment so much easier. I don't have to be squatting in the weird can't touch the tripod position any more. I can just put this on and look through the eyepiece. The zoom on it is nice too. Makes seeing the alignment grid much easier.

I have strained my neck innumerable times trying to look through the polar finderscopes on my mounts. This device solves the problem, your polar picture is now clearly visible from a much more comfortable position. Also, the unit can be turned sideways left or right to make the view more comfortable, which is a very nice feature.The package appears to be a combination of a well made DSLR camera finderscope and a 3-D printed nice sturdy plastic mount that grabs the telescope finderscope firmly with three nylon screws. I was pleasantly surprised on how well made it is, and how well it works.So far I have attached it to a Skywatcher Star Adventurer II, to a Celestron AVX mount with (optional) optical finderscope, and to a Skywatcher HEQ5, and it fits perfectly on all three (the polar finderscopes on all three are made very similarly it seems). 5 stars for sure !

I bought some 8-32x1/2" thumbscrews and it holds onto the Losmandy polar scope. I no longer need to get into an uncomfortable position. I can sit in a chair to do polar alignment.One update. I wondered if I had not focused the polar scope. I had done so. This diagonal has a focus which explains the problem I was having.After several attempts, I would not recommend this for use with the Losmandy polar scope. It cuts off so much field that I cannot see the edges of the reticle.

For those of you who was wondering if it fit well on a I-optron SkyGuider Pro, Yes it does really well ๐.The Green 3D printed attachment fit well on the SkyGuider Pro without any modifications which is great. ๐The only slight issue I have so far from day one is with one of the 3 tapped hole on the Green 3d printed attachement, where the inside thread is so loose that I can't really tighten that screw, but fortunately the other two screws can be properly thighten. The plastic screws itself do have enough thread on them, the issue is really coming from the ID thread on the Green sleeve attachement, but only on one of the 3 tapped holes.If it's getting worst, i will eventually need to fill that thread hole with glue, and just drill and Tap that hole again to fix it.Other than that every thing worked as expected

I note several points:1) The description is very accurate as to the polar scopes it fits. My scope was a little too small in diameter. That I fixed with a few turns of black electrical tap. My exposed scope length was a little short. That I fixed by putting a thin shim in the back of the collar of this viewer. All works great. Knowing the exact requirements before purchase allowed me to figure out a fit.2) Right angle polar scopes look to be priced from $75 to $140. They all look to have the same optical system from the same Chinese factory. Certainly this one was excellent and sharp.3) I have an old fashioned polar scope with 3 star alignment on the pole. This requires seeing to the edge of the field. This right angle adapter did not quite reach to the edges of the field on my scope.However if your polar scope uses the new clock scheme where Polaris is put in the correct position on the circular graticule, then I think this adapter will work perfectly.4) So, if you don't mind the funky green adapter, you can save $50 with this excellent unit.

This is an item I wished I had gotten years ago. Easy to use and attach to camera and very handy for both low perspective (small plants) or even high perspective (astro photos with a tracker). I asked a question and the merchant answered immediately and said if it didn't work with my camera or tracker it could be returned. Great product!
