Can you use a star diagonal on a Newtonian reflector telescope

IMG_5705

A star diagonal is not recommended for use on a Newtonian reflector telescope. This is simply because there may not be enough inward travel to get infinity focus. You may be able to get around this by using a low profile focuser, or moving the primary mirror up the OTA (optical tube assembly)
