Does anyone know if there is/was a diagonal eyepiece that fits these instruments?

I have one that doesn't get much use but would like to use for star/sun shots for fun.

Before you start taking star shots make sure the diodes in the optics will hold up to the sun.?ÿ I fried an old topcon edm taking star shots years ago.

Fixed it for you.

Or look for an objective filter.

@bill93?ÿ

Yes, I have Sokkisha objective filter that fits, but more interested in star shots and at 48 degrees north my neck would appreciate a diagonal!

True, but it is the only one that will damage the EDM, so being specific is good.
