GSO 2" 2x ED Barlow Lens # GS22B
Excellent and useful astro-photography tool
We used this Barlow to reach prime focus on our astro-photography setup on a Dob Newtonian not meant for imaging and got great results. It is a solid product and the glass is of high optical quality. No reason to buy a more expensive Barlow. I like t...

Explore Scientific 1.25" 2x Focal Extender / Barlow # FE02-125
Great Focal Extender
I bought this X 2 Focal Extender to use with my 1.25 eyepieces. It is mechanically a very high quality. It is excellent on most DSO. I have not had a chance to use it on planets yet due to the time of the year. I do notice a hint of light scatter on ...

GSO 2" 2x ED Barlow Lens # GS22B
2X barlow
I am using this barlow for visual and imaging application. The features are very nice and it works great. Compares well to higher price barrows.

GSO 1.25" 2x "Shorty" Achromatic Barlow Lens # GS2BL
Worth it for the price
A little on the cheap side due to plastic feel but at the price point it's perfect for newcomers like myself. The dual zoom levels are a nice feature as well.

Excellent value
Clear image quality. Couples perfectly between my Canon 60D with 1.25" adapter and the back of the Celestron 6SE.

GSO 2" 2x ED Barlow Lens # GS22B
Excellent quality, affordable accessory!
I recently got this unit and I am impressed. It is very multi-functional: I can thread it onto my 2" EPs for a ~1.7x magnifying factor, or use as a 2x with the stock assembly. Multi-coatings are very nice, and the fit and finish of this accessor...

Celestron 2" 2.5x Luminos Barlow Lens # 93436
Celestron Barlow 2.5
Using this Barlow with My Meade 5000 Eye pieces is easy, the locking screws work great, but put my GPS 2" 30MM and the moon becomes a new view

Tele Vue 1.25" 3x Barlow # BLW-3125
The right stuff!
Sharp and great contrast for planetary and double stars. Love the parfocal feature with the Televues no time wasted and you can go and change focal lengths.
