3x barlow with threaded top?

[scarecrow]

I have a 2x barlow with thread so i can attach my camera to it. Looking online i cant seem to find a 3x barlow with the same tread?.

Any idea where i can get one from?

Cheers

Have you tried Google?

Depends on your budget but this 3x barlow has the T-thread:

Astro Engineering AC613 1.25" Supreme 3x photovisual Barlow lens

There's also this really nice Antares 3x barlow with twist lock and T-thread:

Antares 1.25" 3x Barlow Lens with Twist-Lock Adapter and T-Thread

But i can only find it in the States. Rother Valley are the Antares dealer for the UK, they maybe able to source it if they don't stock it.

Rother Valley do indeed stock the Antares 3x Twist Lock with T-Thread:

Antares x3 Barlow Lens Twist Lock | Telescope Accessories | Rother Valley Optics

I would go with this over the AE Supreme.

You could do it another way and save some money (and have a better barlow).

Buy a 1.25" T-thread adapter for £7.99:

Antares Antares basic 1.25" nosepiece to T-thread camera adaptor

Buy the Antares 3x barlow with Japanese optics for £29.99:

Antares Antares 1.25" 3x Barlow lens

Total cost £37.98

I have the Antares 3x barlow and prefer it to the Tal 3x. I sold my Tal after comparing the two.
