Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Save on Telescope Eyepieces & Lenses
I have tried several Barlow lenses on my telescope, all under £25 and all with limitations - particularly chromatic aberration which limits the ability to focus down to the best resolution. I splashed out on this more expensive 3x Barlow lens following 'best buy' advice on line. It is certainly noticably better. The image is almost as large as my x5 Barlow but there is almost no chromatic aberration and the detail is clearer. The result is a brighter sharper Mars, and because of the magnification, a less pixelated one. It seems paying a little more is worthwhile in the world of lenses. My only caveat is that the image quality is now limited not by the eyepiece but by the rest oif the telescope. (I still cannot resolve surface detail on Mars, with my 6" reflector.) Any further improvement will require a lot more money! If you can afford it, I recommend this lens which looks and feels like a quality product and does the business. Read full review

It’s quite bright, and you won’t manage to feel that the eyepiece looses it’s brightness, it looses, but far not that critically. Would recommend to purchase it parallel with a telescope. It’s heavy, what means that Ot contains glass lenses , not chip made of plastic.

Great quality lens, good results too. Must better quality build than the x2 Barlow by Celestron
