5.0 out of 5 stars Great barlow for Celestron 21024, September 29, 2010

I picked up a Celestron 21024 3" tabletop reflector, hoping to get my feet wet in backyard astronomy. The scope actually turned out quite nice, but with its short focal length, the effective magnifications even with a 4mm eyepiece were pretty low. I tried some other barlow eyepieces, none of them would even focus.
The Celestron Omni barlow worked great on that telescope, and I was actually able to make out the bands on jupiter using the barlow, a 12.5mm plossl, and the celestron 21024. I was pretty surprised. If you have the celestron 21024, you'll want this barlow.

I am new to astronomy so I went out on a limb and purchased this Barlow lens for my Celestron 80mm EQ Refractor. It works well. Keep in mind the lens seems to let in less light but I could see Mars, Saturn, the Orion Nebula and several star clusters with good clarity. I only have 10mm and 25mm eyepieces and this doubles my set. I live in an area with terrible conditions for backyard astronomy but this piece has brought out a few more objects. Next I'll try some Celstron Omni eyepieces.

5.0 out of 5 stars using my barlow lens, July 13, 2010

I just purchased an Orion 8 inch telescope--without the barlow Saturn's rings are nearly invisable when I use just the eyepiece that came with the scope. When the barlow is attached Saturn becomes amazing! I love this product and am considering purchasing a 4x to see what the difference is--I recommend this lens highly. If you are into astonomy-this is a must buy![[ASIN:B00008Y0TM Celestron Omni 2X Barlow Lens.
