Customer Reviews of Orion Tri-Mag 1.25" 3x Barlow Lens
Customer Review: Works
Summary: 5 Stars
Still new to astronomy so this review may not be very helpful. I used this Barlow lens with the 10mm eyepiece that came with my scope (100mm Orion Skyscanner)which I think gave me a max magnification of 120x (very close to the usable limit of the scope I have). I was able to see the rings of Saturn and it was a pretty small image but fairly clear; think eraser head centered in a silver dollar. Because of how the Barlow works and/or the high magnification the image does not stay centered very long and without a good tripod it can become very difficult to keep the image steady and in view. I think it would be wise to invest in a tripod that is designed for telescopes before playing too much with higher magnifications if you are starting out like me. Using it on a closer target like the moon, I was able to see a lot of the craters with a fair amount of detail. The image as far as I could tell was not distorted or had any false color but as I said I am new to this... The 120x magnification with the 10mm lens pretty much filled the entire eyepiece. If you are going to use it to look at the moon I would recommend getting the moon filter as well.
Description of Orion Tri-Mag 1.25" 3x Barlow Lens
For those observing targets where you need more power than your eyepieces alone can provide, we offer the Tri-Mag. It gives a big 3x magnification boost to any 1.25" eyepiece it's used with. This is desirable for lunar and planetary observing and for extracting higher powers from fast telescopes such as f/5 and f/4 refractors and reflectors. The Tri-Mag utilizes a multi-coated achromatic "negative" lens that effectively triples the focal length of the telescope's optics. The housing is precision machined from aluminum stock and black anodized to a hard finish. Both the housing and the chrome portion of the barrel are glare threaded and blackened inside to provide maximum contrast. The lens end of the barrel is threaded to accept standard filters. Length, 5". Weighs 5.8 oz. One-year limited warranty.Eyepieces
