This mighty 5x Barlow will easily meet the magnification demands of any telescope system. The Orion High-Power 5x 4-Element Barlow Lens quintuples the power of any 1.25" telescope eyepiece, providing far more magnification than a 2x or 3x Barlow. Featuring a high-quality 4-element lens design, the Orion High-Power 5x Barlow will render exquisite images without introducing additional chromatic abberation while providing a monstrous 5x power boost. The Barlow lens elements are fully multi-coated with anti-reflection coatings to ensure maximum light throughput for bright, crisp views. The lenses are also edge-blackened to further maximize contrast and sharpness. The body of the Orion High-Power 1.25" 5x 4-Element Barlow is machined from solid aluminum with a grip-friendly rubber exterior. The 1.25" barrel is internally threaded for use with Orion 1.25" eyepiece and imaging filters. The inside of the 5x High-Power Barlow's barrel is also glare threaded to help prevent internal reflections. A brass compression ring secures any inserted 1.25" telescope eyepiece in place without marring or scratching the barrel, keeping all eyepieces used with the 5x Barlow in like-new condition. Add the Orion High-Power 5x Barlow to your accessory arsenal for those occasions when you need a super-powerful magnification boost! Weighs just 7 oz.
