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.

2" Big Barlow

Offered in a 2x magnification, the Big Barlow is ideal for Newtonian scope owners. It will be parfocal with both 2" and 1¼" eyepieces in this application. Features include 1¼" eyepiece adapter, threads for 48mm filters, captive lock screw and full multi-coatings.

Victoria J. ★★★★★

I’ve been using this Barlow to slow my f/5 scope, and the image sharpness at higher powers is noticeably better than with my old 2x. The 2" barrel gives a solid, wobble-free grip that I appreciate during long viewing sessions.

Christopher Y. ★★★★★

The 2" barrel seats my eyepieces securely, and the extra magnification on my scope is noticeably crisp at the edges. Only downside is it adds a bit of heft to the focuser, but the image quality makes up for it.

Timothy ★★★★★

I’ve been using this 2" Barlow with my longer focal length eyepieces and the extra 2x magnification really brings out crisp detail on Jupiter’s bands. It also seems to tame some of the edge softness I used to get at higher powers.
