Thanks Rich, you're a bad man bunging the treat in the box ! You didn't need to do that ... But thank you ;-)

Hi all,

I know this is an old-ish topic, but I just discovered it as a result of buying a 2.5x Revelation Astro Barlow to go with my 250 PX (only to discover the focusing issue).

I don't want to spend any more money on an adapter, so I thought I'd return it to Telescope House and get the 2x version as a replacement. Just wanted to check that this won't have the same focusing issue as the 2.5 version. 

Cheers,

Kev.

At £6.50 for the adaptor delivered from astroboot, I would keep the barlow, it's a good one by all accounts.

Oh wait, I did.

Pretty small change in astro terms.

Hi Rich,

I did look on Astroboot, but couldn't see it. Can you send a link?

Cheers,

Kev.

They are both the same...

Hi Rich, thank you! Just bought one. I did want to keep hold of the 2.5x barlow, but couldn't find the one on Astroboot, and all the others I could find on the net were more than I wanted to spend.

Very happy now.

Cheers,

Kev.

No problem, pleased to help.

This isn't the same Kevin that bought my 250px is it? Be really funny if it was...

If you're up near Salisbury, then yes ...

Glad to hear it's made it out of the box!

Hiya, yes, it gets used a lot! Can't wait for the darker nights to really get the benefit of it!
