2 " Diagnols

Having owned the Televue, Lumicon & now the AP max bright I can tell U about
them. The Lumicon was the brighest before the AP max bright came out. The
Televue held it mirror in better than the Lumicon.

The AP max bright is noticably brighter than the other two. The locking
brass collar is a pleasure & doesn't mar either eyepiece or extension tubes.

Considering the price and if your mount is not already strained I would get
the  Lumicon.
If I had a solid mount I would purchase the Astrophysics max bright.
