Top notch quality! I already own a cheaper Celestron 2x Barlow and the difference is night and day. I was hesitant to spend this much more than ?discount? versions. But it?s true: you get what you pay for. And Adorama offered a smooth, easy transaction as always. My package was in the mailbox in a matter of days; just in time for my next outing!

Best Barlow I Own!!!!

I am very new to astronomy and telescopes.  Purchased my first about a two months ago (Celestron Nextstar 130SLt).  Purchased the 25mm, 12mm, and 7mm along with the 2X Barlow.  The construction and quality of these X-Cell LX eyepieces in great.  Definitely a huge improvement compared to the ones included with my telescope.  Simple viewing is much easier.  The eye relief is good and the adjustable eye cup is great for me as I wear glasses.  Will probably add the 18mm soon.  Great service as usual from Adorama

Great Upgrade Eyepieces

I bought this eyepiece to go with a celestron 130mm reflector. I was surprised by the weight & size. The view is nice out to the edges. The image is crisp. A good step up from the kit eyepieces at a reasonable price.

Good addition to eyepiece collection

It has many good features, rubber barrel, retractable eyepiece.
Found it cheaper on Amazon and faster delivery.

Celestron 25mm eyepiece

Not up to par

I?ve not even had a chance to use it, but sure? let me write this review for a chance to win. 

Side note, Amazon and other companies would get more reviews and definitely more honest reviews if they?d stop badgering the customer for a damn review via text and email every 20 minutes after the purchase has been made.

This is not a review, I?ve been harassed for a review of this and other products without being given a reasonable amount of time to use them.

Great to use with your telescope! Would definitely  recommend this to others!

Just what I needed!

Excellent accessory for getting better visual and camera views.

Great quality narlow

Great transaction. Lens arrived in pristine condition, on date promised

Excellent transaction

cheap way to get another eyepiece

Absolutely love the results I got when using the Celestron Xcel 3x Barlow with my astromaster 130.  Best photos I?ve gotten yet!

Aaron W.

The best experience.

But this 3X - best in  glass :-)

Quite a clear and powerful eyepiece.  M51 details, and many new subjects, are now within my sights!!!   Excellent quality.  My favorite eyepiece now.  Love this 12mm with wide view.

Highest Quality eyepiece

Bigger ( large eyepice) The product is excellent.

Eyepiece 5 mm.

For me personally this eyepice is to bolky.
Is bountiful design work excellent.

2.3mm excel eyepiece

Great addition to my telescope lens. Provided quality magnification.

Improved magnification.

Nice construction. Feels sturdy and good quality. I have used this a couple of times on my Celestron 127SLT and with an eyepiece attached this was great to view Mars. While still somewhat a dot in the sky, it was a bit larger dot that just with the eyepiece. My main reason for purchasing was to use in with my DSLR for planetary imaging. However, I have not been able to get a good viewing like this but I don't believe it's the fault of the Barlow lens and rather user error. Still a great piece to have in my telescope tool box.

Great to have.

Great eyepiece! Was exactly what I was looking for

Great eyepiece

Excellent eye piece!

Nice barrow lens if extra reach is necessary.

Celestron Barrow lens 2X

Very Nice!

Purchased this Barlow lens to have a doubled magnification with my eyepieces. I chose this Barlow lens because you can use a 1.25“ filter directly on the Barlow lens. I like it.

Barlow lens for my telescope

I am in love with this eyepiece!!! The field of vision is so large and the 7mm is a great addition to my collection. The eyepiece is heavier but only because it is sturdier. The extra grip in the middle is handy too, I often grab the center of the eyepiece. 

While the XCel is pricier, I am not going to be buying other eyepieces from now on, this is definitely my new favorite.

Love this eyepiece!

Awesome Performance
