Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Mia ★★★★★

With my FSQ-106EDX4, the 1.6x extender kept stars razor-sharp out to the corners thanks to that five-element design — a solid step up in focal length without sacrificing image quality.

Nicholas ★★★★★

The extra glass elements made a noticeable difference in edge sharpness on my FSQ-106EDX4, and the 1.6x magnification is perfect for framing smaller nebulae. It threaded on smoothly and locked tight without any play.

Olivia H. ★★★★★

I was really impressed with how sharp the corners stayed after adding this extender; the five-element design clearly does its job. It's a bit heavier than I expected, but it balances well on my mount and gives me the reach I needed for smaller galaxies.
