The 3x Barlow is must have in your eyepiece kit. You’re able to see more details of the objects you’re looking at. I was able to see the bands of Jupiter in more detail, the moons really appeared more brighter. The rings of Saturn was impressive and in focus. It’s made of metal instead of plastic so it will last a long time.

Came in a nice bolt case as well. Looks to be well built and the 2x Barlow is removable at the bottom so can be used in other configurations or conflagrations as needed!

Wenn null Sterne möglich wären, ich würde sie diesem Versuch einer Barlowlinse geben. Mir ist völlig schleierhaft wie man eine so unsagbar schlecht (vermutlich von Hand mit einem Edding) geschwärzte Linse ernsthaft als "High-quality" vermarkten kann. Wenn das eure Vorstellung von "High-quality" ist würde mich interessieren was ihr unter "low-quality" versteht. Selbst das Innere der Barlow wird nur mit einem eingelegten schwarzen Papier refelxfrei. Und wer hätte es gedacht: eine Rücksendung via DHL geht nur wenn ich das kleine Päckchen 50 km quer durch Niedersachsen zu einer speziellen DHL-Filiale fahre. Toll. Liebes Team von Amazon: Das Ding sollte sowieso eingeschmolzen werden. Das könnt ihr auch in Deutschland machen. Das Ding dafür noch in die USA zu fliegen muss echt nicht sein.

This is a review on the general quality of astromania products. I have purchased a focal reducer, a double helix focuser, a 3x barlow and a UHC filter. The material quality of these products is exceptional, in their machanical design and manufacture. They are well built, sturdy, perform their function well, and if used properly will last at least as long as any of these products made by any top shelf competitors. That said, their actual optical performance is, in my experience ( I am a retired electrical engineer not trained in such things, however, I am a somewhat experienced amateur astronomer) adequate for my eyes ( I've used those eyes for 65 years so I've learned not to expect miracles from my optics) . However they are comparable with higher priced competitors, within my ability to judge these things. Now, if you want to compare their products with top shelf manufacturers of optics ( Astromania's hardware by itself, is top notch) costing as much as 3x's the price, they will invariably fall short. This is a comparison that should really not be made. Of course, high end optics are materially ( high quality optical lenses, and their coatings are costly) and technically (research & development costs $), labor intensive. And as much as I believe that these high end manufacturers are trying to be competitive, I am forced to conclude that there is a real gap in designed specs & cost such that a comparison cannot, and shouldnt be made. Bottom line, I am satisfied that I'm getting value for my $ . I would encourage others to as least check into their products and see themselves.

Barlow lenses are fairly simple and there's not a whole lot of quirks about this one. It's sturdy, well constructed, and magnifies without any noticeable loss in color or quality. Yes, objects will appear slightly dimmer, but that's a drawback for ALL Barlow lenses.I've seen a few reviews on other Barlow lenses where people complain that they can't get objects to focus. Before buying a Barlow lens (or any lens) be sure to calculate the maximum magnification on your scope and see if your lens/barlow combination will exceed that. If you have 400x magnification on a 4.5" telescope that can handle 225x, you're going to have a bad time.
