Premium Barlow lens with 2x magnification and superior optics
The Celestron X-Cel LX 2× Barlow lens is designed for observers who want to double the magnification of their existing eyepieces without sacrificing image quality. Premium optics with fully multiple anti-reflective coatings and quality construction make it the ideal accessory for anyone looking to get the most out of their telescope.
Key Features:
Magnification: 2x - doubles the focal length of each eyepiece inserted.
Clamping diameter: 1.25″ - compatible with all common astronomical telescopes.
Fully multi-coated optics (fully multi-coated) - provides high light transmission, contrast and sharp images without loss of clarity.
Triplet optical system - minimizes chromatic aberration and distortion.
High quality metal body with internal blackening - eliminates glare and increases contrast.
Brass pull ring - holds eyepiece securely without scratching the tube.
Thread for 1.25″ filters - can use common astronomical filters.
Recommendations for use:
Barlow's X-Cel LX 2× lens is ideal for:
Planetary and lunar observing - get higher magnification without having to buy additional eyepieces.
Optimizing your equipment - e.g. a 10 mm eyepiece turns into a 5 mm eyepiece with Barlow.
Beginners and advanced users - easy to use, high optical quality.
Note: For best results, we recommend using with high quality eyepieces - especially from the Celestron OMNI or X-Cel LX series.
Comparison with conventional Barlow lenses:
Higher optical quality than basic plastic models.
Better defect correction and higher contrast due to triplet construction and multiple coatings.
