Insert it between your eyepiece and your telescope to get double the magnification instantly. Let’s say you have two eyepieces in your accessory case, a 10mm and a 25mm. Add a Celestron Omni 2X Barlow Lens to the mix, and now you have four magnifications to choose from. Combining this lens with the 25mm provides double the magnification, or the equivalent of a 12.5mm eyepiece, while the 10mm gives you the power of a 5mm eyepiece. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEye relief is the distance your eye has to be from the first lens in the eyepiece in order to see the full field of view. When you use a Barlow lens with an eyepiece, you get double the magnification, but the eye relief is not affected. This is a good thing, because normally the shorter the focal length of the eyepiece, the less eye relief you have. In other words, a standard 10mm eyepiece, as a general rule, will have better eye relief than a 5mm eyepiece. Bonus! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Celestron Omni 2x Barlow comes in a sleek, silver package.

Each eyepiece features a four-element design with a 52º apparent field of view. The optics are fully multi-coated to improve light transmission and protect the optics. The 32mm Plossl eyepiece offers a low power, wide field view in most telescopes, the 13mm \u0026amp; 17mm focal lengths are good medium-power oculars, and the 8mm \u0026amp; 6mm eyepieces provide high magnifications, great for the Moon and planets, especially when seeing conditions are good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e2X Barlow Lens\u003c\/em\u003e - The included, and very versatile 2X Barlow doubles the magnification of any 1.25” eyepiece. Since this kit includes five (5) eyepieces, you will be able to use them with and without the Barlow, giving you a total of ten magnification options in all. Any other 1.25” eyepieces you already have will also work in this desirable accessory, giving you even more magnification choices. Remember, high magnifications do not always produce clear, sharp results, especially on evenings of poor or moderate seeing conditions. Experiment to find the magnifications that are best for your telescope on a particular night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFilters\u003c\/em\u003e - Colored filters can be used to bring out certain details on a planet’s surface or its cloud structure.

Just screw one onto your eyepiece of choice and slide it into the focuser.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Moon filter is one of the first accessories most new amateur astronomers buy, and for good reason! It helps block out a portion of the light the Moon sends into your eyepiece so that you can see details better. You can also try this filter on Venus; it blocks enough glare so you can observe the planet’s phases more easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMetal Case\u003c\/em\u003e: The sturdy metal carry case has die-cut foam inside to protect and cushion your accessories.

Just pull out enough of the foam cubes to make a nest for your eyepiece, camera adapter, etc. A tight fit is better, so remove the least amount of foam possible before testing the fit.
