Celestron 93326 Omni Barlow Lens, Silver, 2 x 1.25 Inch

Our Experience

After meticulously evaluating several Barlow lenses, I opted for the Celestron 93326 Omni Barlow Lens. My primary criterion was optical quality, and this lens certainly delivered. Over two weeks of rigorous testing with my existing telescope, I noticed a significant improvement in magnification without compromising image clarity. The silver finish is an aesthetic bonus, too, blending seamlessly with my Celestron scope.

However, I found the focus ring to be slightly stiff initially. It required more force than I'd prefer for precise adjustments. After some use, it did loosen up somewhat but remains stiffer than others I've used. This minor critique aside, the Celestron Omni Barlow Lens has proven itself a worthy addition to my astronomy equipment.
