Barlow Lens Telescope
April 18th, 2010
which is best for sky watch through telescope? eye piece or 2x/3x barlow?
I am having konus 130mm, 1000mm focal length telescope. i am having 17mm and 10mm plosal eyepiece. I am satisfied with lens. but i want large image. i want to buy either 4/5 mm eyepiece or barlow to megnify my image. which is best option ?
Go with the 2x barlow lens. Having it will immediately double the size of your eyepiece collection, and if you use it in conjunction with the the 10mm Plössl it will be equivalent to having a 5mm.
Do keep in mind that with magnifications that high on a smaller aperture telescope like yours, the only things you'll be able to look at are planets since everything else is going to be too dim.
