Butt Ugly, no other way to describe it.
I think it started out as a Vixen Flip Mirror, but could be wrong.
Scope side is 2" to fit any 2" draw-tube, and I have glued in a female T thread (can't remember why, but it must have been important).
Rear of the unit is a female T thread.
Top is a "lowered" 1.25" opening, I used a crosshair eyepiece. The ugly part you see is where I chopped this upper section down, a competent lathe job would make it look "nicer.
Functionally, it is great, I used it on the rear of a short guide-scope, and located a suitable guide-star with the eyepiece, then flipped the mirror and used the guide camera on the rear for guiding.
