About this product

Model: bst_sg_2x_short_barlow
Part Number: SP10585

Please note this barlow is occasionally branded 'Astro Essentials'.

Remarkably high performance-per-£!

A 2x barlow fits in-between the telescope and eyepiece and doubles the eyepiece magnification.

This compact 1.25” BST StarGuider 2x barlow with fully multicoated 3-element air-spaced optics features enhanced colour correction, high contrast and excellent light transmission.

It's compact size makes it suitable for use not only with Newtonians but also telescopes fitted with a diagonal such as refractors and Schmidt-Cassegrains.

It also has 26mm clear aperture so can be used with long focal length eyepieces with minimal vignetting.

The sturdy anodised aluminium body uses an anti-marring brass compression ring and thumbscrew to grip the 1.25” eyepiece securely. The smooth-sided nosepiece is threaded to accept 1.25” astronomy filters.

Excellent and Affordable

This is a great little barlow lens, I am quite new to astronomy and got this to go with my 25mm and 10mm eyepieces (which were supplied with my scope) to an amateurs eye I can't see any problems with it, it feels like good, solid build quality and I have had excellent views of the stars and the moon when using it.
