Three elements of apochromatic, fully multi-coated Optics are able to produce a bright, sharp image.
It is important to have a rubber grip to prevent

Questions & Answers

This will work with the Celestron Travel Scope 70, will it not?

It would be great, but it would be The $90 telescope will not become as powerful as the Hubble Space Telescope with some magic. I have one piece of advice to offer It would be better to buy a better telescope before investing any more money No matter how powerful you make this telescope, if you add even more lenses to it, you won't get much more than 100x magnification.

Is this the same model as the Celestron Nexstar 4SE?

Definitely, it fits, but the real question is whether or not it will work with the specific eyepiece you have. Our recommendation would be for you to limit the magnifying power of that telescope to 250x. It is not recommended to use this low-power barlow with an eyepiece with a focal length of less than 11mm in the NexStar 4SE.

The Astronomers without Borders OpenSky telescope should be able to use this to its fullest, ?

short answer to your question is Yes, that would be effective. I believe that out of the box, the AWB OneSky Telescope comes with a 10mm You will be able to double your magnification for each of these lenses essentially giving you the equivalent of two additional lenses on the same You should keep in mind that this is a 1 Barlow. It has been helpful to me when I purchased a Celestron 8SE Telescope with a 25" lens. Make sure you purchase the correct lens size for it to be of use to you. You are welcome, and thank you!

Could it be used with the Celestron 21024 Firstscope Would you mind if I asked for it?

If you have a telescope with 1" it will fit. Eyepieces with a diameter of 25".

Selected User Reviews For Celestron 93529 X-Cel LX 1.25-Inch 2x Barlow Lens (Black)

It is the best in its category
5/5

In its place is a very good vintage Celestron Ultima Barlow model dating from the 1990s. This was once hailed as the best short barlow on the market for its time. Both of these are quite similar in certain regards There are two different types 1) they are designed to work in star diagonals
2) they are three-element Barlows
I purchased an X-ray Barlow and was very pleased with it was based on the performance of the 3x model, a telescope which offered class-leading contrast and sharpness, as well as the ability to deal with difficult eyepieces with a bit more grace than One potential source of reflections that is eliminated by the hollow top is a key element of the contrast performance. This telescope is a bit shorter than the 3x and it handles difficult eye pieces a bit better than the 3x. There is a remarkable contrast and sharpness in this picture. Barlows are often referred to among people as doing the same thing as if they were not there, but with an increased magnification instead. I have tried Meade, Explore Scientific, Baader, and Televue (earlier models) but these are the closest to a good Barlow to me. I have also tried Explore Scientific and Baader.

Other general thoughts on Barlows for those starting out. 1) Make sure you know your telescope's capacity. Depending on how well your scope is collimated, the maximum magnification would be between 30x and 40x Each inch of aperture can be viewed at 60x. In a telescope such as the C8 you'll get 200x magnification (25x/inch) with a 10mm eyepiece. The power increases to 400x (50x/inch) by plugging in a two-times Barlow. With its C8 optics, 30x/inch tends to be a good setting. By using a 3x Barlow, the situation will simply get This scope should be viewed through a 2x Barlow with a 15mm or 20mm eyepiece. 1) Know how well you can see the screen. It is important to maintain fairly steady air motion while looking through high magnifications. We refer to seeing as the overall steadyness of the air. Those who rarely have steady nights should limit their eyepiece purchases to those magnifying powers they will rely on for a regular basis. When you have a steady night, you can then use the Barlow. 2) A bad eyepiece is one which has one bad element. It is possible to ruin a bunch of eyepieces with a bad Barlow. You don't want to cheap out on your investment. Despite the fact that they are cheaper, avoid using two-element, short Barlows when using a star diagonal. There is simply no benefit to using them. It makes a difference when you add that third element. There are some two-element Barlows that allow you to thread off the optical elements and thread them right into an eyepiece, producing 3 times 1 is better than 3x Magnification has been increased by 5x. An arrangement with two elements attached to a tube is usually worse optically than one with two elements attached. *4) If you are just using a Newtonian reflector, consider using a longer Barlow as they are easier to make. There's a lot of praise for the Televue 2X and Orion Tri-Phase telescopes among amateur astronomers Three times the magnification.

I like the barlow a lot
5/5

With 28mm plossel and Orion SkyView 6 telescope, 22mm primary lens & 26mm secondary lens It is a Baader Hyperion 8mm lens. There is no better way to start your day than with this In order to The Buck Barlow Company. Although a loss of light is noticeable, this is completely normal and expected with a barlow. At least that's the best I can do. A fine job of clarity has been done. The overall quality and effectiveness of the service As well as design, there are great things to do. This purchase has been a great experience for me.

A good barlow will always come in handy (you won't regret having one)
5/5

Every astronomer needs a pair of barlows in their equipment bag. typically keep a 2x hand, a 2. 5x hand and a 3x hand in my hand, but not too much higher. In a 4x or larger size, you can get them, but they are not Celestron made. These work great with larger eye pieces like 32mm or 52mm, so you can piggyback them to get 6x if that is what you need.

This is a high quality barlow
5/5

There's something about the X that I love A series of eyepieces from Cel LX. In addition, the 2X Barlow lets you swap out lenses easily to get a variety of looks. As a recommendation, I would suggest.

If you are buying without an eyepiece, do not do so
3/5

The 2x Barlow has not yet been tested on planets or deep space objects due to mostly cloudy weather conditions. Using an 8mm adapter and eyepiece will allow details of the moon's surface to be seen in stunning detail.

Adding this tool to your toolbox is a great idea
5/5

A second eyepiece can double magnification without having to buy another. You can find more information on these lenses on the internet. It is sometimes useful to pair it with a zoom eyepiece when I am looking for maximum The barlow did require a refocus once it was attached, that was to be.

The quality of the views is great, they are clear and crisp
5/5

The EP is held in place by a brass collar, which ensures no damage to The finish is very beautiful and the construction is of high quality. This program works well and gives a clear and sharp view. For the price, this works great, and the brass collar gives it a firm grip, so there's no need to worry about marring your EPs.
