Orion 1.25" 2x Shorty Barlow Lens

The Orion 1.25" 2x Shorty Barlow Lens doubles the power of any eyepiece it's used with. This practical accessory effectively doubles the number of eyepieces at your disposal. It gets its name from its compact size. The Shorty is just 3" long end to end-about half the length of a standard barlow lens. It's short 1.25"-diameter barrel is just 1.6" long, fitting easily in any 1.25" star diagonal, so it's great to use with refractors and Schmidt-Cassegrains. In fact, it works with any type of telescope.

Takes up less space in your accessory case than a standard barlow, to boot. The Shorty's 2x amplifier lens is an achromatic glass doublet that's now multi-coated to ensure excellent light transmission. The machined and anodized aluminum housing is internally baffled to eliminate unwanted reflections and increase contrast. Enjoy higher-power, sharper images without eye strain and get more mileage from your eyepieces with the short barlow that's long on versatility.
