on 2005-01-18This particular Barlow, along with the Orion Shorty, is highly recommended on several of the astronomy forums on the internet. I got this one instead of the Orion simply because Amazon was offering it at about $52 at the time.
I've found that I enjoy using the Barlow when viewing planets and a few DSO's. It provides an economical way to virtually increase the number of eyepieces in your collection. It does introduce a little light loss with my eyepieces (maybe this is normal with all eyepieces), but it is not troublesome.
I certainly recommend this Barlow for those of you who want to cheaply expand your eyepiece collection.
