Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Thomas X. ★★★★★

Pairing this with my TSA-120 really sharpens up planetary images without adding noticeable chromatic aberration. The ED glass elements make a clear difference in contrast compared to a standard Barlow. Definitely worth the investment for anyone wanting more reach.

Amelia ★★★★★

Installed it on my TSA-120 and the image scale improvement for planetary imaging is exactly what I needed, with no noticeable loss of sharpness thanks to the ED glass elements. The build quality feels solid and it threaded on smoothly without any binding.

Steven S. ★★★★★

Finally got clear skies to test this extender on my TSA-120, and the ED glass really does keep stars tight across the whole frame. Chromatic aberration is completely gone compared to my old generic barlow.
