Baader Q-Barlow Lens: Dual Magnification for Enhanced Observations
Unlock greater detail in your astronomical observations with the Baader Q-Barlow Lens, a versatile accessory that offers dual magnification options. With high-quality optics and a compact design, this Barlow lens is an ideal choice for those seeking flexibility and precision in both visual and photographic applications.
Key Features:
- Dual Magnification: Achieve 2.25x magnification in its standard .configuration or unscrew the lens cell to use it as a 1.3x magnifier, providing versatility with a single accessory.
- High-Transmission Multi-Coating (HT-MC): All air-to-glass surfaces are fully multi-coated, ensuring maximum light transmission and minimal reflections for bright, high-contrast images.
- Lightweight and Compact: The slim profile and low weight make it easy to add to your setup without affecting balance.
- Wide Compatibility: While designed to complement Baader’s Classic Eyepieces, the Q-Barlow is compatible with most 1.25" eyepieces, enhancing their magnification potential.
Enhance your stargazing experience with the Baader Q-Barlow Lens, offering precision and flexibility for detailed lunar, planetary, and deep-sky viewing.
Baader Planetarium Q-Barlow 2,25x / 1,3x
This high-quality 2.25x Barlow made of exotic glasses provides the rare extension factor of 2.25x. So, there are no duplicate focal lengths when used with the eyepieces of the Q-Turret Set, and you can achieve higher magnification than with standard 2x barlow lenses if you do planetary photography with a web or video camera, and you can make better use of the camera’s resolution.
The Barlow can either be screwed into the Q-Turret eyepiece turret or combined via the special, included adapter with all 1.25 “eyepieces. In this case, it acts as a 2.25x Barlow. With the Q-turret revolver and the Classic Eyepieces, this results in the following focal lengths: 2.7 mm, 4.5 mm, 8 mm and 14 mm
Alternatively, it can also be screwed directly into an eyepiece and then increases the telescope focal length by a factor of 1.3. The Barlow element has an M28.5 male thread (corresponding to the filter thread of 1¼ “eyepieces), the housing has got a M28.5- female thread.
