Frequently Asked Questions
What magnification does this Barlow lens provide?
It doubles (2X) the magnification of any 1.25-inch telescope eyepiece you pair it with. For example, a 25mm eyepiece that gives 40X will deliver 80X with this Barlow inserted.
Can I attach a DSLR camera to this Barlow lens?
Yes. The lens has a standard M42 (T-thread) at the top, so you can connect a DSLR or SLR camera with the appropriate T-ring adapter for your camera brand.
Will this Barlow lens fit my telescope?
It fits any telescope that accepts standard 1.25-inch (31.7mm) eyepieces, which covers the vast majority of consumer and intermediate telescopes.
What does "multi-coated" mean for this lens?
Multi-coated means multiple layers of anti-reflective coating are applied to the glass surfaces. This reduces internal light loss and glare, producing brighter and sharper images compared to uncoated or single-coated Barlows.
Is the lens barrel made of plastic or metal?
The barrel is constructed entirely of metal, which provides better durability and more precise alignment than plastic alternatives.
