Baader Erecting Prism Star Diagonal
Best upright viewing accessory for terrestrial telescope observers.
This is the essential upgrade for turning your telescope into a powerful spotting scope. By correcting the image orientation, it makes terrestrial viewing intuitive rather than disorienting. You sacrifice a bit of light transmission compared to a standard mirror diagonal, but the gain in natural, upright perspective is worth every bit of the trade-off.
