to barlow or not to barlow?


Recommended Posts

Provided that the Barlow is of good quality there should be little or no image degradation. The advantage of the Barlow is that it retains the eye lens diameter which is usually larger in the longer focal length eyepieces and also the eye relief, a consideration if you have to wear specs.:).

I agree with Shane and Peter;). The views are pretty much the same but I prefer 2 separate eyepieces if possible to prevent the messing about with the Barlow while I'm out there in the cold.

They are a great way to double your eyepieces though when starting out.
