Wpuld the diagonal be an improvement over the 11/4 skywatcher I have presently? Thanks

A 2" will always be an improvment over a 1 1/4". You have more light coming to the eyepiece.

Only with 2" EPs, John. You would not be using the extra reflective surface with a 1.25" EP in a 2" diagonal. (In the same was as an oversized secondary in a Newt or Cassegrain would not help gather more light than a standard size one.)

But being able to use 2" EPs in a long FL SCT would be essential for getting wide true FOV. And $45 is a bargain for a 2" diagonal.

Yes, my mistake Steve.
We shouldn't always just assume.
