Re: new barlow
WL, Ha,
refractor 70mm/100mm
imaging
asi120mm asi1600mm
I was having a look at the barlow TV but I read in the forum posts that someone has problems with a central reflection.
maybe I have to orient myself on cheaper barlows?
do you have any model you prefer and have you tried?

Re: new barlow
I have a Celestron 2x Barlow Ultima that is very good, a 3x Televue Barlow which is excellent and also a Astro Engineering AC555 magnimax 1.6x threaded Barlow which is brilliant.
My 2.5x Televue Powermate is rubbish.
