Introducing the groundbreaking 2x Ortho Barlow: See Beyond Limits with Uncompromising Sharpness

Have you ever longed to push your observation power further without sacrificing image quality? The new 2x Ortho Barlow shatters the stereotype of barlow lenses degrading clarity. It takes exploration to a whole new level, extending focal length with zero added aberrations, thanks to its innovative design paired with your existing aberration-free objective lens.

Introducing the "Ortho" of a new era:

  • Unprecedented Sharpness: This barlow doesn't just magnify, it amplifies your view. Witness stunning central and peripheral details, exceeding even the expectations of our highly anticipated TPL series eyepiece.
  • Airy Disks Across the Field: Gone are the days of compromised edges. In conjunction with the TOA tube and TPL-6mm eyepiece, even the slightest peripheral imperfections vanish, revealing star images within the Airy disk across the entire field.
  • Chromatic Aberration? Not Here: Bid farewell to color fringing. The 2x Ortho Barlow cancels out the TOA's subtle chromatic aberration, delivering pure, clear star points.
  • Versatility Redefined: Beyond 31.7mm sleeves, an M42 P0.75 T-ring screw expands your horizons, welcoming other attachments for diverse imaging needs.
  • Photographic Prowess: Forget the past. This barlow surpasses its predecessor in both central image chromatic aberration and peripheral coma, ensuring exceptional astrophotography results.
  • Seamless Switching: Experience smooth transitions. The parfocal design maintains focus even with the barlow in play.
  • Compact and Convenient: For effortless zenith mirror usage, this short barlow comes with a 31.7AD adapter, letting you double your magnification on the fly.

The 2x Ortho Barlow is more than just a lens; it's a gateway to a world of uncompromised astronomical clarity. Dive deeper into the cosmos, rediscover the thrill of seeing farther, and witness stars like never before.

Joshua P. ★★★★★

Used this on my 9mm eyepiece for lunar detail and the contrast is noticeably better than with my old generic barlow. The all-metal barrel threads smoothly and holds alignment perfectly.

Richard ★★★★★

Doubled my 10mm to a 5mm for planetary viewing and the edge sharpness held up way better than the cheap Barlow I had before. No color fringing on the moon either, which surprised me at this price.

Sophia ★★★★★

Stacked this with my 10mm eyepiece to get a 5mm equivalent and Saturn's rings stayed razor sharp. Doubling the power without the image falling apart is exactly what I hoped for.
