The use of ED glass means that visible colour aberrations are reduced to a minimum with the image appearing substantially sharper. In addition, all lens surfaces have been provided with a green multi-coating to reduce reflections.
Astrophotography with the Barlow lens: You can also use the Barlow lens for astrophotography. Especially for compact objects, sometimes more focal length is required in order for them to be seen at a reasonable size in the image. The big plus: There is also no shadowing apparent on small image format camera chips.
Larger diameter - more scope for your lenses: The 2"" diameter also allows you to insert your 2"" eyepieces into the Barlow, doubling their magnification. This saves the need to buy additional eyepieces. The large lens diameter also means you will notice no shadowing in the image.
Ergonomically designed: Naturally, clear starry nights can be cold in summer. This often means there is no choice but to wrap up warmly. This Barlow lens has been designed with a high grip exterior to provide a good grip, meaning that it is easy to handle securely even with gloves on.
Still more possibilities: One does not always need the focal length to be doubled. It is also possible to use just one section of this Barlow lens in order to get a magnification factor of something like 1.5x. The lower Barlow element can simply be unscrewed and then screwed into any 2"" eyepiece. This Barlow element is correctly threaded for this purpose. There is a 2"" filter thread provided on the lower part of the Barlow lens and on the reducer adapter for using your filters. "

It will probably work fine in most scopes, just not in my first gen NP101.I wanted something to make my 2 inch 35mm Bresser eyepiece the equivalent of a 17.5mm. Without a barlow the 35 reaches focus about 1 inch out from the fully-in position. When I insert this barlow, I have to move the focuser inward all the way in and it still will not focus. I tried inserting the barlow between the eyepiece and diagonal, and I tried unscrewing the lens and attaching it to the nose of the 2" diagonal, but neither worked. My focuser just can not travel far enough inward to reach a focus. The only way I was able to reach focus was by unscrewing the barlow lens and attaching it directly to the eyepiece (like a filter). While I was able to reach focus this way, it is not how I plan to use this barlow because it only gives about 1.5x magnification increase.I really wanted it to work because its very nice looking, has brass compression rings to keep from scratching you eyepieces, coatings look good, and it has a nice big lens. When attached to the eyepiece where I was able to focus, the image was sharp and clear so this is a good barlow. However I will reluctantly have to return it.

I read some reviews that complained of the optics not fitting properly. I just checked and the product I received seems to fit both my eyepieces and my 8” dob satisfactorily. It will be at least 2 months before I will set my rig up to see how well it works. So far, I am completely satisfied.
