Best Barlow I Own!!!!

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!

Great Upgrade Eyepieces

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

Good addition to eyepiece collection

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.

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.

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.

Great to have.

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.

Barlow lens for my telescope

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.

Love this eyepiece!

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.

FEATURED REVIEWS

I will purchase other X-Cel LX eyepieces

By Star G.

I use this eyepiece with my 12" Dobsonian telescope. It provides great views of the planets. Images are clear with a wide view of field.

Outstanding clarity

By Murali R.

Bought this one based on reviews and Celestron support person recommendation this one has more elements (lens) and hence superior to kit eye pieces. That is true. Used this on Celestron 90x series and difference is out of the world. My son was so delighted to see the Orion Nebula and those star dust clouds. This eye piece is really good, though it costed a third of the price of telescope. I am a photographer and always believe in getting great quality glass. Yes it may cost a bit more but mak...

When inserted between the eyepiece and telescope, this X-Cel 2X Barlow lens doubles the magnification of all your 1.25" eyepieces. The premium apochromatic optics yield high contrast, sharp images, virtually free of false color.

The black anodized housing with orange highlights matches the eyepieces in the Celestron X-Cel LX line. A centralized rubber grip helps to keep your hands securely on the barrel, even when your fingers are cold or you are wearing gloves. A brass compression ring just inside the top of the X-Cel Barlow grabs your eyepiece gently but firmly when you turn the thumbscrew. Once the thumbscrew has been secured in place, the brass ring keeps your eyepiece in the Barlow instead of relying on the tip of the thumbscrew itself, offering a better grip and protecting the barrel from scratches.

The barrel of the Celestron X-Cel LX 2x Barlow is threaded to accept 1.25" filters, allowing you to change eyepieces without removing and re-attaching the filter from each eyepiece barrel.

Celestron X-Cel LX Features

  • Quality X-Cel LX 2x Barlow doubles the magnification of any 1.25" eyepiece.
  • 3-element apochromatic, fully multi-coated optics offer up bright, sharp images.
  • A rubber grip helps to avoid accidental drops.
  • Barrel is threaded to accept standard 1.25" filters.
  • A brass compression ring holds the eyepiece firmly in place.
