New Barlow on the Block?

[great_bear]

I wouldn't have thought there was room in the world for yet another 2x Barlow, but here you go:

Celestron X-Cell LX 2x Barlow

- still - I guess if you've bought any of the interesting-sounding new Celestron X-Cel LX eyepieces, you might want the "matching" Barlow to go with them!

I was looking at these just the day before- the Ultima 2x is now defunct and stocks are running very low all over- guess this is the replacement updated model and cheaper too

hhmm, maybe

Nice design, never been a fan of the orange (edit: colour) though

The Celestron Ultima 2x is a tough act to follow but this looks like it might be aiming to do just that (in price too).

Do you mean Celestron generally or just the colour ?.

Epic revival (sorry!)

Has anyone heard anything about the quality of these yet? Can't find anyone who's managed to get any imported as yet - but (despite my dislike of the orange!) I've been converted to the LX EPs
