In contrary to what you might think, the Barlow thread is different from those used for
My initial reaction is that it will work optically. I am not sure if the focuser would be affected mechanically by it, but as long as you have a bit of space beyond the normal eyepiece depth, you should be ok.
It's a good idea to use the eyepieces that come with your scope. These would enhance your ability to see 3 different magnifications when used with the 2X Barlow. With an additional eyepiece of 8mm, you would have 50X and 100X (twenty feet per minute, forty times per minute, or eight hundred times per minute).
In addition to having its eye pieces on the back, the 127 also has an angle ring. According to my understanding. This is going to be a very heavy scope. I have the 130 slt, the eye pieces are in center, which helps with weight distribution.

In order to replace a Celestron Omni 2x Barlow that came with my first telescope (a Celestron 102mm Refractor), I purchased this barlow. My first impression is that the image of this barlow is distinctly sharper I am not sure if that is the result of focusing or just my imagination, but the Televue barlow is actually slightly magnified. There was one issue I had with this barlow the locking mechanism for the eyepiece was faulty. In place of a simple screw holding the eyepiece in place, this barlow has a screw that is attached to a metal band inside the eyepiece holder itself. As you tighten the screw, the band tightens. This can be a little tricky in the dark, and I found that I had to reseat/adjust the band after switching eye pieces a few times. My problem has gone away because I got used to using the locking mechanism, though it took me some time to get used to it.
As a first-time telescope user, I am not sure how to use one. A 5" Newtonian reflector is in my possession, which is made in China, with some lower-quality parts Eyepieces that cost a lot of money. Jupiter's color also greatly improved after using this Barlow since it not only improved magnification as expected, but also caused no other problems. The reason I don't understand is that I don't understand. The majority of the time, I don't give five stars When something exceeds my expectations, I give it a 5-star rating - this did not fail to deliver. In an unexpected manner, cheap optics can be made to look like more expensive ones.
It's a great barlow, and I wanted to say that first. I used it to take planetary photos with my DSLR, and it worked quite Barlows are designed for use with eyepieces, but in general, you will degrade the color and quality of the image when using them with them. There is no doubt that this is one of the best out there, and it will give you good views through the eyepieces you already own.
I would however propose asking yourself, "why are you using a barlow?"? I personally think that it would be much better if you skipped the barlow entirely and looked into the svbony 66 degree eyepieces instead.
(It's the one with the gold line running perpendicularly across The redline version is better still)
Essentially barlows can magnify the image of most factory eyepieces without degrading the image, but chances are your factory eyepieces are not If you're going to use the eyepiece for visual purposes, skip the barlow and get a pair of goldline eyepieces instead. I recommend checking out Reddit r/askastrophotography if you're interested in taking photos at night.
I think you made a very good decision by As I looked at my images, I was amazed at the improvement. The price was well worth it.
Apart from the fact that it's a bit long (be careful not to I would only give it 4 stars if a) it were longer and b) it was scientifically accurate at the high point. It is also quite a bit cheaper, and aside from the magnification, I am not able to notice any visible difference in the optical quality. There is no doubt that this is an excellent article, but for people who are more concerned with stretching their money, there may be better choices available.
I think this product is worse than a Barlow, and about half the price. A few years ago, I bought a Celestron 2X Barlow for 50 dollars. Although it was a good video, I heard that the tele vue was much better. In comparing the two, I found that the celestron was miles ahead of the tele vue! Using the Celstron, I could clearly see the Cassini division, but I was unable to see it at all with the TeleVu. In addition, there was extremely bad chromatic distortion on the tele vue. By comparing it side by side with another (less expensive) Barlow, I knew it was not the eyepiece or the telescope. I was very disappointed by this.
Each Celestron lens I own will be replaced by Televue lenses. This book is highly recommended.
Televue makes very nice products, and this is one of the best. The FOV is extremely clear and uniform throughout, the build quality is excellent, and the finishing is superb. As a bonus, I'm also interested in the 3X.
