Any residual color error therefore counts double. The third element corrects what a doublet leaves behind, and the multi-coating on all glass surfaces keeps reflections low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practically designed<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The safety groove prevents the Barlow from sliding out of the focuser if the set screw isn't quite tight enough. Pair it with any 1.25-inch eyepiece, from Pl\u00f6ssl to wide-field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Featured accessories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strong in combination with the medium focal length eyepieces from your set: a 15 or 20 mm eyepiece gets a second life as a planetary eyepiece. Keep a maximum of 2x the telescope aperture in millimeters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For whom yes and for whom no<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\u2713 Who wants one good Barlow instead of more eyepieces<\/li><li>\u2713 Owners of wide-angle eyepieces: the edge remains sharp<\/li><li>\u2717 For those who need a 2-inch light path: choose the 2x ED Barlow 2-inch<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specifications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Magnification factor<\/strong><\/td><td>2x<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Optical design<\/strong><\/td><td>3 lens elements, multicoated<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Mount<\/strong><\/td><td>1.25 inch (31.7 mm), with safety groove<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can find more accessories for this brand at the <a href=\"\/en\/brands\/omegon\/\">Omegon brand page<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Omegon Barlow Lens 2x 3-element (1.25 inch) doubles the magnification with less chromatic aberration and distortion than standard Barlows, thanks to its third lens element.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":25714,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[126],"product_cat":[3134,3129,56],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-25706","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_brand-omegon","product_cat-barlow-lenzen-en-focal-extenders","product_cat-oculairs-en-barlows","product_cat-telescoop-accessoires","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"bundled_by":[],"bundle_stock_status":"instock","bundle_stock_quantity":null,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundle_price":[],"bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":111636,"url":"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/en\/zwo-seestar-s50-pro\/","url_meta":{"origin":25706,"position":0},"title":"ZWO Seestar S50 Pro","author":"Info telescoop","date":"25-08-2026","format":false,"excerpt":"The ZWO Seestar S50 Pro is the successor to the Seestar S50: 50 mm quadruplet APO (260 mm, f\/5.2), two 8.3 MP 4K sensors, a 63-degree wide-angle camera for the Milky Way up to 8K, three built-in filters, a 10,000 mAh battery (up to 9 hours), and 128 GB of storage.
