TeleVue Powermate 5x 1.25″ – Barlow Lens

TeleVue Powermate 5x 1.25" - Barlow Lens

The TeleVue Powermate 5x 1.25" is an advanced magnification lens that increases the effective focal length of your telescope by a factor 5x extends. This Powermate is designed for maximum image quality at extremely high magnifications, both visually and photographically.

Unlike classic Barlow lenses, the Powermate works with an optical system that transmits the light beam parallel to the eyepiece or camera. This preserves image quality, even at high magnifications and in fast telescopes.

Vierlenselementen en parallelle lichtbundel

The Powermate is constructed from 4 lens elements in a combination of negative and positive working groups. This construction ensures an excellently corrected image with high edge sharpness in virtually all optical systems.

Because the light beam remains parallel, the eye relief does not change with eyepieces of longer focal length. This prevents vignetting and maintains familiar viewing comfort. This also results in a uniform and high-contrast image in photography.

Thanks to the parallel beam path, this Powermate is also very suitable for use with H-alpha systems.

Rugged aluminum housing

The housing is made of aluminum and offers a stable and durable construction. The integrated 1.25" snap ring provides secure and even fixation of eyepieces or camera adapters.

Additionally, the Powermate features a 1.25" filter thread, so that standard 1.25" filters can be used directly.
