Description

A good Focal Extender adds some real versatility to your telescope accessory line-up. First of all, it allows you to increase the magnification of any eyepiece with the same barrel size that you already own. In other words, 3 eyepieces offer 6 magnification choices with the addition of a focal extender. Secondly, most of the time, lower magnification eyepieces have better eye relief than higher power models. When using a focal extender to increase your magnification, you get to enjoy the generous eye relief of the lower power eyepiece, and that’s quite a bonus, especially for eyeglass wearers or for those with fast telescopes who can really push high magnification eyepieces. Remember, we make focal extenders in 2X, 3X and 5x models, so there is something for every style of telescope.

Jacob ★★★★★

Took it out on the moon last night and the 5x boost on my 1.25" eyepiece made craters pop like I've never seen them. The threading is smooth, screwed on without any wobble. Definitely earning its spot in my case.

Victoria Q. ★★★★★

Finally got a chance to test this on Jupiter last night and the extra reach really pulled out the cloud bands clearly. The threads felt smooth and precise when screwing into my diagonal.

Samuel ★★★★★

I was worried a 5x extender would make things too dim, but it actually works better than I expected on my 1.25" eyepieces. The image stays sharp even at high magnification, which really surprised me.
