Not sure how practical this would be with the mak though...there'd need to be a way of adjusting vertically and horizontally...

I need to see some pictures of what others have done I think.

By all means replace the diagonal that came with the scope but a standard GSO/Bintel dielectric 2" diagonal will do just fine.

Remember that 99.99% of the time the amount of detail that's visible will be dictated by the seeing and and whether your Mak is in thermal equilibrium. No amount of expensive accessories will change that!
