High quality accessories
Pros: Cons: Comments:Being a devoted Tele Vue customer, I was skeptical of Blue Fireball as a manufacturer until I saw that their eyepiece extension tubes contained brass compression rings. That, plus positive experiences reported on Cloudy Nights, convinced me to try them. I am not disappointed! They are nicely made and finished and I now have a set of three available to adapt eyepieces and cameras to a flip mirror.

Jan 19, 2019Perfect tool
Pros: Cons: Comments:This is an excellent 1.25" extender. I purchased the set of 0.5, 1.0, and 2 inch extenders. I use these for astrophotography and getting my Takahashi FS 60C 355mm, f/5.9 to focus with some of my legacy eyepieces.

Sep 26, 2018Extension tube
Pros: Cons: Comments:Used to get my fuse camera in focus with my OAG. Works well but I needed to add a second short extension to get crisp focus. An extra 1/2 inch of length would have been perfect.

Oct 2, 2017Great Extension Tube!
Pros: Cons: Comments:This extension tube is well made, dimensions as specified, light weight and the shorter nose tube doesn't interfere with the light path to my video camera. The 2" length is perfect to replace my diagonal and reach focus, plus the brass "clamp" strip under the thumb screw holds the camera more securely. All this and an unbeatable price, lightning fast delivery and an easy online ordering system make Agena Products my goto for future astronomical supplies and equipment!

Oct 2, 2016Excellent Addition
Pros:Strong Construction,Lightweight
Cons: Comments:I purchased this extension so that I could reach focus with my 70mm telescope with certain eyepieces. It is good construction and the clamp provides a rigid connection for the diagonal. I recommend any Blue Fireball products as they always perform well.
