Slotted between the eyepiece and telescope, the X-Cel 2X Barlow lens amplifies the magnification of all your 1.25" eyepieces twofold. Its superior apochromatic optics deliver sharp, high contrast images, practically devoid of false colour. The lens's black anodised housing, accented with orange highlights, complements the eyepieces in the Celestron X-Cel LX line.
A central rubber grip ensures a firm hold on the barrel, even in cold conditions or when wearing gloves. A brass compression ring, located just inside the top of the X-Cel Barlow, secures your eyepiece tightly yet gently as you twist the thumbscrew. Once the thumbscrew is locked in position, the brass ring retains your eyepiece in the Barlow, providing a superior grip and safeguarding the barrel from scratches, rather than relying on the tip of the thumbscrew alone. The barrel of the Celestron X-Cel LX 2x Barlow is threaded to accommodate 1.25" filters, enabling you to switch eyepieces without the need to detach and reattach the filter from each eyepiece barrel.
The Celestron X-Cel LX 2x Barlow Lens - 1.25" is a game-changer for any telescope user. It amplifies the magnification of all your 1.25" eyepieces twofold, providing sharp, high contrast images. The lens's black anodised housing ensures durability, while the central rubber grip and brass compression ring provide a firm hold and protect the barrel from scratches. This lens is a must-have for anyone serious about their viewing experience.
