Celestron Universal Barlow and T-Adapter - 1.25"

Celestron Universal Barlow and T-Adapter - 1.25" Description

The Celestron Universal Barlow and T-Adapter - 1.25" is an essential accessory for any astronomy enthusiast looking to enhance their stargazing experience. This versatile tool serves three distinct purposes: it can be utilized as a 2X Barlow for visual observations, as a prime focus T-adapter for photography, or as a “Barlowed” T-adapter that doubles magnification while providing extra inward focus travel. Imagine capturing stunning images of the Moon or planets from your backyard or local park, effortlessly transitioning your telescope into a powerful photographic lens.

Using the Celestron Universal Barlow & T-Adapter is straightforward and user-friendly, making it an ideal choice for beginners and experienced astronomers alike. With the simple insertion of any 1.25” eyepiece into the Barlow chamber, you can instantly enjoy double the magnification without sacrificing the comfort of eye relief. This feature allows you to explore the cosmos up close, whether you are admiring the intricate details of lunar craters or the majestic rings of Saturn.

For photography enthusiasts, the T-adapter function turns your telescope into a giant telephoto lens, perfect for capturing breathtaking astronomical images. By unscrewing the bottom section of the unit, you can slide the chrome barrel directly into your telescope’s 1.25” focuser. This easy setup enables you to lock the adapter securely in place, ensuring stability during your photographic endeavors. Pair it with a brand-specific T-Ring (sold separately) to attach your DSLR or SLR camera for stunning astrophotography results.

However, be aware that some telescopes, particularly "fast" refractors and Newtonians, may not have sufficient focus travel for prime focus mode. In such cases, utilizing the Barlow with the T-Adapter allows for easier focus adjustments. In “Tele-Extended” mode, the Barlow not only doubles the focal length but also the f/ratio of your telescope, resulting in larger images that are perfect for detailed celestial photography.

Whether you are capturing intriguing terrestrial scenes or venturing into astrophotography, the Celestron Universal Barlow and T-Adapter - 1.25" is a must-have accessory that elevates your observational and photographic experiences to new heights.
