Is this barlow 1.25"?

Hi folks

Probably should have asked the retailer BEFORE ordering one, but needed it in a hurry and just assumed...

Does anyone know if this:

SkyWatcher x2 Economy Barlow Lens [20475] - £14.16 : 365Astronomy: Discovery for every day!

is a 1.25" fit or a 2" fit?

I am afraid I'm buying it to remove the lens and use it as an extension for my guide camera rig. The only thing it needs to be is 1.25" diameter :-)

Yes. It is 1.25". Taking the lens out is probably the best thing you could do with it!

Yes. It is 1.25". Taking the lens out is probably the best thing you could do with it!

:D

THE lens is correct - these are not even achromats

cheers all.

yeah, don't worry, I wasn't planning on actually using it optically :-)

Same as i have i think, that came with the skywatcher capricorn 70mm. It's quite useless. I've used it a coupple of times for moon and planets, and that's about it.

On the other side, i've tried to take out the glass with no success, it's unremovable on the versjon i have at least...
