My New 2x Barlow!

[Greg6498]

After receiving great advice from this group, I decided to purchase this TeleVue 2x Barlow! It's going on my Skywatcher Evostar Pro 80mm. I have an ES 6.7 eyepiece I want to use with it. Can’t wait to give it a go!

Check if has screw thread in base to take a filter

From what I am reading you going to use a 6mm eyepiece

Not sure what going to achieve with a higher powered eyepiece

I use 17mm with mine, and rings of saturn are crystal clear

Use it also on Mars, same eyepiece, with yellow filter, and able to see northern polar caps

Blimey John, with Saturn almost overhead I'm able to give it 375x with my 4mm EP and it stays pin sharp with incredible details, C Ring, Encke Minima, Enceladus etc. etc. Give it a go with whatever power you can!
