Looking for a diagonal

Anyone know of something like this Stellarvue diagonal being available? Googling doesn't seem to find any equivalent.

" 1 1/4"90 Degree Fully Multi-coated, Focusing Erecting Prism The correct image erecting prism is fully multicoated for superior contrast. It comes with a 1.25" helical focuser with set screw and features 15mm of focus travel by turning the rubber grip. Made for standard for 1.25" eyepieces. #D1026AF "

This one is available from Stellarvue - USD59. Maybe also from OPT.

I'm looking for 90 deg, 1.25" diagonal, erecting prism with a helical focusser built in. Not too much to ask, surely?

I don't know if anyone else makes them but the Stellarvue one is nice.
It does work as advertised.

We (my son) received one on a finderscope at NEAF this year from Vic Maris himself dressed as Galileo. It was a neat experience.

Thanks Scott. Well I might have to get one of those. I'll check with my friendly (very) local Stellarvue distributer.
