I’m outside the return. By the time I tried it realized it didn’t do anything on my telescope. Wish I never bought it.

Very well made Barlow lenses and fits perfectly. Doesn't cause any image distortion and makes any telescope much more powerful. Comes with a moon filter that makes all the difference to take some glare away. Definitely worth having.

Does exactly what it says, just doesn't benefit my particular scope much (8" dob). Not much different than my 2x, so I'm probably exceeding meaningful magnification.

This is a budget Barlow lens, works with my refractor but cannot reach focus with my Newtonian. As others have said, not multicoated.Pros: solid construction, thread for T ring.Cons: won't work with reflecting telescopes.No coatings.

Haven't used it yet, but it seems well enough made. It's not one of those silly plastic ones. My biggest complaint is that it is labeled 5x Barlow lens. I almost freaked out when I saw that, as I ordered the 2x selection, considering I already have a 5x and learned the hard way that a 5x is too powerful for my telescope. (I openly admit I am a total noob at this, but I do love astronomy regardless)It wasn't until I revisited the product page here on Amazon, and saw in the description it says that despite being labeled 5x, it's actually a 2x Barlow lens. With that, I calmed down a little. I can handle that. Figuring out a way to relabel it should not be hard at all. Anyway, that little labeling snafu lost this product one star in the review. I will follow up on this review after use.

No one noticed that this Barlow barely has a 2x magnification?!!!!!I have a 2x Barlow lens and it does more than this one. I even tried to stack them but then the picture quality have been decreased quiet a lot. I would not recommend to buy it. I had to give one star because it's needed to submit the review. I am sending the item back.

Does its job I guess. Value for the money. Moon filter is pointless though ..

The pictures are of Saturn and Jupiter in the night sky with Orion StarBlast 2 4.5 EQ.with a 10mm lens on top of the Starboosa 5x Barlow lens. Remember Saturn is some 900+ million miles away.As the first actual review of this Barlow lens by Starboosa. I would like to add that it feels really well made, came well packaged, and performs very nice. I have a 2x 3x and now 5x and you can see the difference. Letting me know this Barlow lens really works and is not a fake or misleading product given the great price. It works very well and will buy more from this seller again soon. Fabulous Barlow Lens for a great price.
