Explore Scientific 1.25" 5x Focal Extender / Barlow # FE05-125

Meade Series 4000 #126 1.25" 2x Short-Focus Barlow Lens # 07273
Better than a Telescope's Pack-In
This is much better in build and optical quality than what you would get included in a Telecope Package. Definitely replace the one you got with your scope with this one.

GSO 2" 2x ED Barlow Lens # GS22B
Excellent barlow
Nice price for a quality 2" Barlow. I like the fact I can unscrew the lens from the Barlow tube and screw it into my 2" eyepieces. Keep up the great work!

Baader 1.25" 2.25x Hyperion Zoom Barlow with T-Adapter # 2956180
Clear optics!
Great barlow for astrophotography. Clear optics, great coma correction, and very little/if any chromatic aberration.

APM 1.25" 6.25x Coma-Correcting ED Double Barlow # APM-Komakorr-DoubleBarlow
Versatile barlow
I have only used 2.7 so far. excellent optics and clear views are possible with this barlow. And a second one to boot if your telescope can handle it. I have yet to explore the true value of this barlow.

Explore Scientific 1.25" 5x Focal Extender / Barlow # FE05-125
Lightweight, clear focal extender
This focal extender is somewhat smaller and lighter that I would have guessed for a 5x. I see no obvious problems with the light being passed through it. This extender is too powerful for my telescope (130 mm reflector) with most eyepieces, but is e...

Meade #128 1.25" 3x Short-Focus Barlow Lens # 07278
Good so far
When paired with a few of my eyepieces I have found it to work well, I have only had one clear night with it so far. It is very compact for what it is and a good price point.

GSO 1.25" 2.5x Apochromatic Barlow Lens # BL251
Excellent value!
I compared the GSO 2.5x apo barlow to a TeleVue 2x I had. First, this barlow functions as a 2.1x barlow, not a 2.5x. In any event, on Almach, the beautiful pair was easily separated in my 17mm Sterling Plossl and looked simply beautiful, orange prima...

Explore Scientific 1.25" 3x Focal Extender / Barlow # FE03-125
A Must for Planetary Imaging with shorter focal lengths
So much better for planetary imaging that a barlow. Why? You can place this anywhere in the optical train without complicating your required backfocus.

High quality, well constructed barlow. Useful in many ways.

Was surprised by the high quality and all-metal, heavy-duty construction of the slotted 2" casing with it's matched-set 1.25 adapter. Excellent large ED Barlow. I am well pleased with it after use in both my Bresser AR 152L/1200 and Exp Sci...
