Best Barlow?

[Spare Tyre Nebula]

Can anyone tell me which is the best Barlow to get for a Skyliner 250PX Dobsonian? As you know the choice is big...

Thanks!

1.25" or 2"? What's your budget?

[Bizibilder]

Good and reasonable priced? TAL 2x or 3x from FLO.

Celestron Ultima.

[dmahon]

Televue.

But, don't get a Barlow (unless you really need the diverging lightbeam), get a Powermate.

[brantuk]

Yup to all the above. Good vfm budget eps = Tals, best under £100 = Celestron Ultima or Orion Shorty Plus, next = Televue barlows, best = Televue Powermates

I agree with Brantuk, Tal, Ultima then Televue Powermates, have a look at SCS Astro`s web site or Telescope House, you can read the specifications on how these alter the light path in a different manner to barlows.
