Tell me, please, what is the best diagonal to choose for observing objects of distant cosmos and planets:
Baader 2" BBHS ® Mirror Diagonal with 2" ClickLock Clamp
Baader 2" BBHS ® Prism Star Diagonal Prism with 2" ClickLock Clamp
And yet, the mass of them is indicated the same, is there any error here? The prism should be heavier? Thank you for your responses!

Are the BBHS coatings easy to clean? Do the coatings have a life comparable to your dielectric coatings? Do the coatings degrade over time and at what rate? Is there a difference in performance between your dielectric diagonal and the BBHS one, what are the differences and are they significant or very slight? I own an early Televue APO 4 inch refractor.

What's the easiest way to attach the "Baader 2" BBHS ® Mirror Diagonal with 2" ClickLock Clamp" to Televue NP127is and keeping the optical path shortest for Denkmeier Binotron 27 system?

Is there also a way how to add UFC to the path and keep somehow ClickLock detachable for the bino vs single eyepiece use?

I just replaced my Baader 2"/90° Astro Amici-Prism with BBHS ® coating (# 2456120) with the Baader 2" BBHS ® Mirror Diagonal with 2" ClickLock Clamp (# 2456115) on which I put a Baader UFC.

However, something bothers me using the UFC on the 2456115.

While on the 2456120 the Filter slider can be inserted and removed from the right, on the 2456115, it must be from the left (forced position when the UFC is screwed onto the diagonal) .

Can you tell me if it is possible to insert and remove the Filter slider from the right on the 2456115, in the same way as on the 2456120?

Thank you.

I have an older 2" BBHS® Mirror Diagonal # 2456115 that fits into my Takahashi TSA-102. I would like to add a Baader Maxbright II binoviewer. Can the Clicklock be unthreaded to reveal a T2 thread? I saw somewhere about removing the small hex bolts (about 1 mm) that circle the side of the clicklock closest to the mirror. However, they seem impossible to remove as I can't find a tool that small. On the other hand the clicklock seems to be on very tight so I don't won't to force it if it is not threaded.
If it can't be removed I may buy a prism diagonal for very slightly better stray and scattered light performance. Do you think that this assessment of scatter is true?

Excellent for planets and DS but may be dangerous with Ha!
I use this with a few scopes from 80mm to 152mm APO refractors, 14
. 11" and 8" SCTs. I also have Astro Physics and a Hutech 2"
diagonals. The BAADER does give a bit more on planets and DS probably due to wider range of frequencies it passes. Oters have noted this also.
BUT....here is the scary part... I am also a solar observer. with Coronado Ha and Lunt Ha scopes, Day Star, Ha, and BAADER Cool Cermaic Hershel Wedge. I had planned on using my new BBHS BAADER diagonal with my favorite Ha setup but luckiily it wouldn't quite reach focus with some of my eyepieces due to a bit more back focus with the click lock (excellent device though normally). As a result I used my other two diagonals. About a year after buying the BBHS I happened to come across a warning email by BAADER that warned to NOT use the BBHS diagonals for Ha due to the additional radiation it apsses as a result of coatings. These could be dangerous to the user as well as equipment. While I love my BAADER equipment I think that warning should have been included in all product descriptions and user manuals. Here is the email I saw from BAADER:

Question..
Can I use a UV / IR blocking filter and / or the BBHS mirror before an H-alpha or calcium approach? Do you recommend the 2 "BBHS or the 2" ClickLock star diagonal?
-74Question by: Enrique V. on 10/14/2016 9:41:00 AM | 1 answer (s)
For observing the sun in H-alpha in combination with a suitable filter combination, we recommend the normal, dielectric Clicklock mirror, because below 380nm and above 740nm it conveys significantly less radiation into the eyepiece than the BBHS star diagonal. The star diagonal thus significantly reduces the load on downstream filters. Please always use a suitable energy protection filter in front of the lens in order to keep the strain on the filter as low as possible.

We strongly advise against visual observation of the sun through a calcium filter - the 397nm of the calcium line are in the UV; It is known that UV radiation can trigger photoxic reactions in the eye and lead to eye damage. In addition, even young people have only a low sensitivity to these wavelengths, which decreases even further with age. Therefore, the eye does not notice that the intensity is far too high. If you want to increase the intensity (for example with a different zenith mirror) in order to see a brighter picture, the risk of eye damage increases. According to the latest standards for eye safety and ophthalmological findings, the sun must not be visually observed at 397 nm.

We urgently recommend observing the sun in calcium only photographically, then no zenith mirror is necessary. We cannot understand why some manufacturers offer calcium filters for visual solar observation.

We also advise against placing a filter close to the focal point - an energy protection filter should be placed in front of the lens, even if high demands are placed on the optical quality of a large filter. A filter close to the focus saves money because it can be made much smaller, but we absolutely cannot recommend it - both because of our own conscience and because of EU regulations. The filter absorbs all of the energy that the lens collects - and could break at any time. For technical as well as ethical reasons, we can only recommend a dielectric energy protection filter in front of the lens.

  • Supperior in every way for planetary and DS observing over competitiors. Clicklock is wonderful.
  • Warning not includeed in advertising or user manual about danger with Ha solar observing

Baader 2" BBHS Spiegel mit 2" ClickLock am TEC 1120/160FL
Die Kombination des TEC1120/160 FL mit dem Hyperion 36mm und dem 2" Spiegel ist unfassbar gut. Das Bildfeld ergibt den kompletten M42 Orionnebel, die kompletten M45 Plejaden und zb komplett NGC 869_884 H&Chi in einer Qualität, wie ich sie noch nicht gesehen habe. Jetzt spielt auch der TEC seine Qualität aus.Bis dato hatte ich Baader 2" Zenitspiegel. Die waren schon super. Aber die Qualität des Bildes hat sich mit dem neuen BBHS Spiegel nochmals extrem verbessert.
Ich glaube immer der Spiegel ist beleuchtet. So hell und klar ist das Bild.
Die Abbildung ist knackig scharf. Ich habe extreme Freude damit und kann diesen Spiegel nur weiter empfehlen.
  • die Qualität
  • Preis könnte etwas niedriger sein. Aber: Den Preis vergisst man, die Qualität bleibt.

BBHS SILVER SIDAL
Unfortunately weather and work prevents my giving a detailed review, however I can definitely give an initial impression over a few nights use of this extremely fine product.

There is somewhat of an undefinable quality using the BBHS over OEM and upgrade diagonals that is extremely pleasurable. While contrast and clarity are easy to spot in the rendition of stars and all objects, there is a very definite 'softness' or lack of harshness produced... very much like seeing with the naked eye. Without words, I guess I liken it to listening to music that was produced by warm analog means versus the harsh digital process.

I can easily vouch for the high quality and precision of the BBHS... and of course the Clicklock provides incredible convenience and safety.

Lastly, Tobias is a gem.... always there to help... extremely quick in response, even tho we have oceans between us.

Yes the product is a bit costly, however definitely not overpriced. If you are like me and truly appreciate the splendor of the heavens above, this product can help take you there.

Thanx Tobias... and Baader!
  • The pleasant, comfortable yet exacting view it allows.
  • It does not guarantee clear skies

    • @PwrHsePro Did you try the Ethos 21mm with this BBHS diagonal (#2456115)?I read a review on https://www.teleskop-express.de/shop/product_info.php/info/p3312_TeleVue-Ethos-21mm---2--Ultraweitwinkel-Okular---100--Feld.html saying that the Ethos barrel is too long to fit in the ClickLock. Is that true?Thanks a lot
