More Info

Properly designed Barlows do wonderful things: They amplify power, slow the telescope's f/# (improving eyepiece sharpness), and give designers the opportunity to compensate for telescope eyepiece aberrations.

This Tele Vue 2x 1.25" Barlow uses multi-coated high index glasses for optimum aberration correction, exceptional contrast with virtually no light loss. Observed performance is aberration free, even when tested with f/4 telescopes. This barlow lens improves the performance of all eyepieces and telescopes!

Compromise image quality in any part of the optical chain and you've compromised every part! Tele Vue product design and execution deliver consummate satisfaction. Every Tele Vue Barlow must pass the same rigorous f/4, full field testing as all of their telescope eyepieces. All Tele Vue Barlows now use brass clamp rings for secure, non marring holding of eyepieces and accessories.

3 The Tele Vue 2x Barlow doubles the power and improves the performance of all eyepieces and telescopes. It also slows the telescope's f/# which improves eyepiece sharpness. The fully multi-coated lenses provide sharp, high contrast, bright images.

The Tele Vue quality is vert apparent in this 1.25 2x Barlow. I use it with my 6-inch Orion StarBlast and the clarity is great. It's worth spending a little more for a Barlow as goods as this.
