* Non-marring compression ring secures eyepieces in place. Requires no added in or out focus travel
When you need to crank up your telescope's magnifying power, do it with a premium-quality Orion HighLight Barlow. You'll get
power to burn, plus other optical benefits that make them a must-have accessory for your observing arsenal.
Orion HighLight barlow lenses provide either 3x or 5x amplification, depending on the model - more than the 2x amplification
factor of standard barlows. They're ideal for lunar and planetary observation, and for planetary imaging in combination with a
solar system camera or webcam. They're also great for extending the effective focal length of short-tube telescopes, to give them
more magnifying power. The 3x HighLights (1.25 and 2") triple the power of any eyepiece they are used with; the 5x HighLight
(1.25") provides a five-fold boost - it's Orion's most powerful barlow yet! Using a HighLight barlow in combination with long
focal-length eyepieces to achieve high magnification offers the benefits of better edge sharpness and eye relief than you'd get
using shorter focal-length eyepieces without the barlow.
Orion HighLight barlows employ a sophisticated 5-element lens configuration engineered to render optically flatter, sharper
images than standard barlows can render. The lenses are fully multi-coated to ensure high light throughput, and their edges
blackened for improved contrast. The machined aluminum, anodized barrels are also blackened inside and glare threaded to prevent
internal reflections. A non-marring compression ring secures the eyepiece in place. Slotted barrels prevent accidental slip-outs,
and dual rubber grip bands on the housing ensure easy handling. HighLight barlows require no additional inward or outward focus
travel.
For a serious power pop with uncompromising performance, get a premium Orion HighLight barlow. Then get ready to say "Whoa!"
