Tal 2x barlow

Picked up a 2x Barlow would you say this would be slightly better than my celestron omni 2x Barlow ?

I'm fairly new to all this stuff.  I personally have owned neither, (I have Meade and Plussar), but, from reviews and user comments about Russian type optics, if the one you have is in good condition it probably will out perform the Chinese one.

Yes if used in the right situation the TAL should be better tan the Omni

Cheers I'll Doublle check before selling the Omni

Never used an Omni barlow but the Tal 2x is great.

Not really big on barlows, but I do have a TAL 2x on hand and it is indeed quite nice, has a slightly yellowish tinge similar to Tele-vue optics to it though.

Just received a Baader Q-barlow 2.25x in the mail and am anxious to see how the two compare, the Q-barlow is getting some excellent reviews for its optics. Can report back, if there is any interest (and the clear skies hold out through the weekend).
