Description

Properly designed Barlows do wonderful things: They amplify power, slow the telescope's f/# (improving eyepiece sharpness), and give designers the opportunity to compensate for eyepiece aberrations.

Tele Vue Barlows use multi-coated high index glasses for optimum aberration correction, exceptional contrast with virtually no light loss. Observed performance is aberration free, even when tested with f/4 scopes. They even improve our competitor's eyepieces and telescopes!

Tele Vue Quality

Compromise image quality in any part of the optical chain and you've compromised every part! Tele Vue product design and execution deliver consummate satisfaction. Every Tele Vue Barlow must pass the same rigorous f/4, full field testing as all our eyepieces. All Tele Vue Barlows now use brass clamp rings for secure, non marring holding of eyepieces and accessories.

1¼"Barlows

Offered in 2x and 3x magnifications, these 1¼" Barlows perform identically. Simply choose either or both based on your eyepiece collection. Features include parfocalization, 1¼" filter threads, captive lock screws that won't fall out and full multi coatings.

Hazel X. ★★★★★

My scope's edge-of-field sharpness noticeably improved once I slotted this Barlow in, and the extra magnification on Jupiter was very welcome. The f/ratio slowing really does seem to tame the aberrations on my cheaper eyepieces.

Miles ★★★★★

The 1.25" Barlows genuinely sharpens things up at high magnification — Jupiter's bands popped with way more contrast than my old setup. The way it slows the f/# really does clean up the edge stars, and the snap-in collar feels solid.

Andrew ★★★★★

Finally, a Barlow that doesn’t add fuzziness at higher magnifications. The way it slows the telescope’s f/# really cleaned up the view of Jupiter’s bands and moons.
