When you need to crank up your telescope's magnifying power, do it with a premium-quality Orion HighLight Barlow. You'll get power to burn, plus other optical benefits that make them a must-have accessory for your observing arsenal.

This 2" 3x Orion Highlight 5-Element Barlow Lens provides 3x amplification — more than the 2x amplification factor of standard Barlows. It's ideal for lunar and planetary observation, and for planetary imaging in combination with a solar system camera or webcam. It's also great for extending the effective focal length of short-tube telescopes, to give them more magnifying power. This 2" 3x Orion Highlight 5-Element Barlow Lens triples the power of any eyepiece it is used with. Using a HighLight Barlow in combination with long focal-length telescope eyepieces to achieve high magnification offers the benefits of better edge sharpness and eye relief than you'd get using shorter focal-length telescope eyepieces without the Barlow.

Orion HighLight Barlows employ a sophisticated 5-element lens configuration engineered to render optically flatter, sharper images than standard Barlows can render. The lenses are fully multi-coated to ensure high light throughput, and their edges blackened for improved contrast. The machined aluminum, anodized barrels are also blackened inside and glare threaded to prevent internal reflections. A non-marring compression ring secures the eyepiece in place. Slotted barrels prevent accidental slip-outs, and dual rubber grip bands on the housing ensure easy handling. HighLight Barlows require no additional inward or outward focus travel.

For a serious power pop with uncompromising performance, get a premium Orion HighLight Barlow. Then get ready to say "Whoa!"

3x Orion HighLight 5-Element Barlow Lens

I have had limited testing with the Orion 110mm Premium scope using the 3X barlow, but when I put this in at a star party the images were so clear and detailed it was if there were no barlow at all. This is a very good barlow, well worth the money.

WE HAVE HAD 15 DAYS OF CLOUDY WEATHER AND RAIN. I USED MY ST-120 SCOPE (ORION PRODUCT) ONCE AND LIKED IT. I JUST WANTED TO INCREASE THE POWER FOR PLANETS AND THE MOON. THE ENCLOSED DIRECTIONS ARE CLEAR AND I BELIEVE I UNDERSTAND THE LIMITATIONS. THE BARLOW WILL BE A PLUS I AM SURE.

Favorite viewing location:??dark places

Pros: lots of power
Cons: price
Yes, I recommend this product!

The first review was with limited experience with the Orion Highlight 2??? 3X Barlow. This was with the 110mm Premium and at a star party for a school. Yes, the kids come first and with very limited viewing I was impressed. With further use of this Barlow, I am more impressed, the box and finish is superficial but very nice and well received, but its performance with imaging set this Barlow up as being exemplarity. I am still very pleased with the outstanding performance with several scopes now for visual. I have submitted an image of Saturn to Orion taken with this Barlow; an image is worth more than what I can write.
Favorite viewing location:??Austin, Texas
Favorite object to observe:??All astronomy objects in general
Yes, I recommend this product!
