Barlow help!

[MrTreyLynch]

I have the Barlow from my refractor and I defiantly can't get it to focus in my 10 inch reflector!

[paul schofield]

What kind of Barlow is it ? What scope is your 10' reflector ? What were you trying to focus on ? I am sure someone can help with a few more details.

Generic 3G barlow and Orion 10xi

Silly question here, are you placing an eye piece on your barlow as well? You also have to consider, if conditions aren't right for viewing, it won't focus anyways. Not because the barlow or eye piece are bad, but due to poor atmospheric conditions. Even a seemingly clear night can have poor viewing conditions.

Barlow extend the focal point. It is possible you reflector focuser do not have enough travel for the barlow + eyepiece. Using extension tube might help

[MrTreyLynch]

Extend the distance from Barlow to secondary mirror or eyepiece to Barlow opening?

[Cornelius Varley]

The extension tube should be placed between the focuser and the Barlow.
