Well packaged, caps fit very well. Will be testing it out tonight. Looks like clear sky's.

The ring where the lens is held is plastic, while the main tube / eyepiece holder is metal.Optical quality is average, but the most striking feature is that the 5x magnification is not true. I compared with other Barlows I own and this one magnifies just a bit, maybe between 1.25x and 1.5x .I know the price is cheap, but it does not deliver it's main feature as advertised.

Using it with my plossl eyepieces, and measuring the field of view, it averaged 2.03X. As I changed to wider field of view eyepieces the magnification increased about 2.1X @ 60 afov, 2.2X @ 68-72 afov and 2.3X @ 76-82 afov. The images with the barlow were about 90% as good as my expensive barlows. A plus is the T-ring threads for photography. Summary! Very good and functional for the price.
