Camera + barlow

[Z3JohnLB]

I have a QHY5III462c camera which works well with my Celestron Evolution 8 for planets. Does anyone know if the Celestron LX x2 XCel barlow would work well and improve the image size?

It should do but you have to note they'll also magnify any chromatic abberation if your scope shows any colour fringing on the planets edge. Televue Powermates are well corrected for this issue but cost more, they also won't eliminate it if the scope shows it originally. I've got good results with a basic no big name Barlow.

I don't usually have any problems like that unless they are low down. Thanks for the advice.
