Review & Description

When you need to crank up your telescope's magnifying power, do it with a premium-quality HighLight Barlow. You'll get power to burn, plus other optical benefits that make them a must-have accessory for your observing arsenal. HighLight barlow lenses are ideal for lunar and planetary observation, and for planetary imaging in combination with a solar system camera or webcam. They're also great for extending the effective focal length of short-tube telescopes, to give them more magnifying power. The 5x HighLight (1.25") provides a five-fold boost â?" it's our most powerful barlow yet! HighLight barlows employ a sophisticated 5-element lens configuration engineered to render optically flatter, sharper images than standard barlows can render. The lenses are fully multi-coated to ensure high light throughput, and their edges blackened for improved contrast. The machined aluminum, anodized barrels are also blackened inside and glare threaded to prevent internal reflections. A non-marring compression ring secures the eyepiece in place. Slotted barrels prevent accidental slip-outs, and dual rubber grip bands on the housing ensure easy handling. HighLight barlows require no additional inward or outward focus travel. For a serious power pop with uncompromising performance, get a premium HighLight barlow. Then get ready to say "Woah!" One-year limited warranty.
