Like most people I started out learning the hard way many years ago, buying the wrong thing that I THOUGHT was the right thing and progressing from there, such as thinking I knew best and bought a 120mm Acro refractor on EQ3 mount (WAY back) and never using it, as being autistic setting it up annoyed the hell out of mer.
MANY years later, two years ago I bought what I have now, and now two years on I have finally again through trial and error and expense found a good diagonal, in fact I have three now, one for each scope.
I initially got the William Optics 2" carbon dialectric because the Skywatcher ones really are not great.
Now as I said I found what I consider the perfect ones................... For me
The baader Click Locks.
I have them on both Refractors and my SC, whilst nothing is perfect, the quality and ease makes them a lovely diagonal.
