Hi Paul. Yes I leave the diagonal in while shooting because it supposedly gives you a bit more image scale.

When I first got the the refractor, I collimated without the diagonal. Then I thought: well if I'm going to use the diagonal on it full time, why not collimate with the diagonal on there....There is a difference in collimation between having it on & not so I found out.

IE: collimate without the diagonal then put the diagonal on & check....it will be out a fair bit!

Would it be better to lose the diagonal while I'm shooting perhaps?
