- Increase the power of any 2" eyepiece by a factor of 2x - for example:
makes a 30mm eyepiece perform like a 15mm eyepiece

telescope eyepieces
- Also includes a handy step-down 1.25" adapter for use with 1.25"
eyepieces

In keeping with our tradition of offering top-notch astronomy gear at great
prices, Orion is proud to offer our 2" diameter, 2x Barlow Lens at a very
affordable price. Like other 2x Barlow lenses, this big 2" model provides
a 2-time power-boost to any 2" eyepiece so you can enjoy double the magnification
of any 2" ocular. Just insert this Barlow into a telescope's 2" focuser
and then insert any 2" eyepiece into the Barlow to double the power of
the eyepiece.
This big Barlow has a huge 2"-diameter that's optimized to work with virtually
all 2" telescope eyepieces. The 2" 2x Barlow is the perfect complement
to 2" eyepieces such as the Orion DeepView and Q70 lines; and it works
well with other brands of 2" eyepieces too. An included 1.25" adapter
ensures all your 1.25" eyepieces will work with the 2" 2x Barlow Lens
as well.
While 2" eyepiece users are often trying to stretch the limits of their
telescopes to obtain wider, low power fields of view, there are many times when
more power is needed to tease out detail from a small deep sky object or planet.
Orion's 2" 2x Barlow Lens features multi-coated lenses for high contrast
and glare reduction. It's even threaded for use with big 2" filters to
further enhance your astronomical adventures.
