Slide this top-notch 3x Barlow lens between your telescope and eyepiece, and you'll triple the magnification of any 1.25" eyepiece you own. Ideal for those with short, fast telescopes, this accessory is especially useful for amplifying magnification during lunar or planetary viewing when the skies are clear. Its apochromatic, fully multi-coated optics ensure high-quality color fidelity and contrast.

Sporting a black anodized body accented with orange highlights, this Barlow lens complements the Celestron X-Cel LX eyepiece series. A centralized rubber grip offers a secure hold, even if you've got cold fingers or are wearing gloves. Inside the top of the lens, a brass compression ring grabs your eyepiece securely but gently as you tighten the thumbscrew. Once locked in, the brass ring takes the load, not only offering a secure fit but also sparing your eyepiece barrel from any scratches.

What's more, the Celestron X-Cel LX 3X Barlow's barrel is threaded to accept 1.25” filters. This design feature lets you swap out eyepieces without the hassle of detaching and re-attaching the filter each time.
