Manufacturer Description
This high performance Antares barlow # B3S triples the power of any inserted eyepiece. It features a fully-multicoated achromatic design, internal darkening and edge-blackened lenses. Suitable for high contrast, high power applications in any telescope, although it is best suited to Newtonian/Dobsonian reflector telescopes because of its rather long length. Not threaded to accept standard 1.25" astronomy filters. Made in Canada.

Note that the use of any optical element like barlows and focal reducers changes the focus point of your telescope, requiring additional in-focus or out-focus travel. The exact amount of focus travel required will depend on the optics and mechanics of your specific set-up (telescope, diagonal (if used), barlow, and eyepiece). Hence, be aware that you may not be able to reach focus with all eyepieces or in all configurations with a given barlow.
