Amici prism 45° 2'' on 1.25''

The Amici prism 45° 2'' op 1.25'' corrects the image of your telescope so that it is displayed both upright and left-right correctly. This makes the prism ideal for daytime use: birdwatching, following ships at sea, or observing landscapes with your telescope.

Thanks to the 45° viewing angle, you can look comfortably without straining your neck. The wide 2'' connection provides extra stability and allows the use of heavy eyepieces, while the included 1.25'' adapter gives you the freedom to also use your standard 1.25'' eyepieces.

For astronomical observations at low magnifications, such as the moon or star fields, this prism is also suitable. At high magnifications, an Amici prism can sometimes cause diffraction spikes on bright stars, making a regular star diagonal the better choice there.

Observation goals

The Amici prism 45° 2'' on 1.25'' is primarily used for terrestrial observations such as nature, birds, and shipping. For the moon, it's useful to have a naturally oriented image. For planetary details and deep-sky observations at high magnifications, a standard diagonal is more suitable.
