Manufacturer Description

Barlow lenses offer an easy, economical way to increase the magnification range of your eyepieces. A 2x Barlow lens doubles the magnifying power of your eyepiece by doubling its effective focal length. For example, an 18mm eyepiece used with a 2x Barlow lens would have the magnifying power of a 9mm eyepiece. It’s like having two eyepieces in one! If you’re looking for an affordable way to achieve high-power viewing of the moon and planets, double stars and even close-up views of terrestrial subjects, a Barlow lens is the answer. Barlow lenses mount into either your telescope’s 1.25" focuser or visual back.

The NEW Celestron X-Cel Barlow is a high quality 2x Barlow lens that doubles the magnification of all 1.25" eyepieces. This Barlow has great features like, low profile, 3-element fully-multicoated optical design and blacked lens edges.

General Features:

  • 3-element Fully multi coated design
  • Brass pressure ring - Holds eyepiece more securely without damaging barrel
  • Rubber grip and hard black anodize finish with orange ring
  • Threaded for 1.25" filters

Product carries full 2-year manufacturer's limited factory warranty (within US/Canada only)

      5.0 Best Barlow I've ever had

      Pros:

      Quality Lenses,Strong Construction,Accurate,Easy to Use

      Cons:

      Heavy

      Comments:

      It's large, heavy and bulky, and personally I don't like stuff with rubber on it. The optics are splendid. Best I have tried.

      4.0 Ultima replacement

      Pros:

      Quality Lenses

      Cons:

      Comments:

      This is produced to replace the made-in-Japan Ultima series, and I have no issues with its capabilities for visual astronomy. Unlike the unit it replaces, this model utilizes a brass clamping ring to hold eyepieces, which van catch on the "safety" cutout some mfrs have in their design.
