2X Shorty Barlow (EB002)

The broadband multi-coatings really make a difference—planetary detail pops much more clearly than with my old budget barlow. American machined parts give it a satisfyingly solid feel when racking focus.

The safety groove on the insert tube is a small touch, but it makes swapping eyepieces in the dark way less stressful. Machined parts feel solid, and the coatings give a clean, sharp image on Jupiter tonight.

The multi-coatings really deliver noticeably sharper views of Jupiter's bands compared to my old Barlow. Threads are smooth and solid, it feels like a precision tool in the focuser.
