From the manufacturer

X-Cel LX 2x Barlow Lens - 1.25"

  • "Quality X-Cel LX 2x Barlow doubles the magnification of any 1.25” eyepiece
  • 3-element apochromatic, fully multi-coated optics offer up bright, sharp images
  • A rubber grip helps to avoid accidental drops
  • Barrel is threaded to accept standard 1.25” filters
  • A brass compression ring holds the eyepiece firmly in place
  • When inserted between the eyepiece and telescope, this X-Cel 2X Barlow lens doubles the magnification of all your 1.25” eyepieces. The premium apochromatic optics yield high contrast, sharp images, virtually free of false color.

1

The black anodized housing with orange highlights matches the eyepieces in the Celestron X-Cel LX line. A centralized rubber grip helps to keep your hands securely on the barrel, even when your fingers are cold or you are wearing gloves. A brass compression ring just inside the top of the X-Cel Barlow grabs your eyepiece gently but firmly when you turn the thumbscrew. Once the thumbscrew has been secured in place, the brass ring keeps your eyepiece in the Barlow instead of relying on the tip of the thumbscrew itself, offering a better grip and protecting the barrel from scratches.

The barrel of the Celestron X-Cel LX 2x Barlow is threaded to accept 1.25” filters, allowing you to change eyepieces without removing and re-attaching the filter from each eyepiece barrel.

    15 customers mention6 positive9 negative

    Customers are mixed about the magnification of the telescope. Some mention that the mag is really good, while others say that it is a bit. Objects are hard to focus, and the build seems good, but they are not able to focus the image. The 3x Barlow is great for magnifying with a DSLR, but it will darken the image, and it's great for zoom.

    "...It gives too much magnification to be useful to me...." Read more

    "...been using this barlow for a while now it seems that the magnification is really good on it. The weight feels very nice and solid not cheaply made...." Read more

    "...good optics, but while it triples your focal length, it also triples your focal ratio. A 650mm f/5 telescope becomes a 1950mm f/15 telescope...." Read more

    "The 3x Barlow is great for magnification with a DSLR, but it will darken the image. It worked really well to photograph Venus...." Read more
