Not sure a 5x barlow would be much use to you really - the magnification would be huge even if used with a 25mm eyepiece. 3x and above barlows are usually used for imaging.

What eyepieces do you currently have ?

Are you looking for a 1.25" or a 2" barlow lens ?

Sorry for the Q's but I want to come up with decent and usable suggestions :smiley:

......using  Starguider EDs, I use  Skywatcher`s 2x Deluxe Barlow. I can remove the Barlow tube and just use the lens cell fitted directly to the EP to give a Barlow factor of approx 1.6x. This suits my needs  just fine, but I use a much smaller and slower scope to yours!

Can I also ask, how do you deal with any coma on your f/4.5 using the BST's?
