Televue 2X BIG Barlow - 2"

Are you looking for a high quality barlow lens to maintain the great eye relief of your occulars while doubling the magnification? Then the Televue 2X BIG Barlow may be right for you. The Televue 2x Big Barlow is for your 2" eyepieces and is parfocal for TeleVue eyepieces as well. But that's not all, The Tele Vue Big Balow also comes standard with a 1.25" adapter so no eyepiece in your collection is left out.

"Properly designed Barlows do wonderful things. First, they amplify power while retaining the eyepiece's eye-relief. Second, they slow the telescope's f/ratio which improves eyepiece sharpness. Third, the designer can introduce compensations for eyepiece aberrations. Televue's 2" 2x BIG Barlow was envisioned as a magnification window. Multi-coated high index glasses assure optimum aberration correction, exceptional contrast and virtually no light loss. Televue Barlows achieve their design goals even when tested by the fastest scopes. They even improve our competitor's eyepieces and telescopes!"--Al Nagler

For eyeglass wearers, the Big Barlow is perfect for doubling the power while retaining the eye-relief of 2" Televue eyepieces such as the 55mm Plossl, 35mm and 27mm Panoptics (requires use of Panoptics Barlow Interface) and 20mm Nagler Type 2. The TeleVue 2X BIG Barlow is also threaded for 48mm filters and has a captive lock-screw. The brass clamp rings hold 2" eyepieces (or the supplied 1-1/4" adapter) snugly in place...a nice design upgrade! At only 4.5" long, the BIG Barlow can be used in most 2" diagonals or placed in the focuser in before the star diagonal for additional magnification. While this isn't possible with all refractors, the 2" focuser on TeleVue models require an extension tube to achieve focus. When used in this manner, the magnification increases to 3.3X.
