Product Description

This mighty 5x Barlow will easily meet the magnification demands of any telescope system. The Orion High-Power 5x 4-Element Barlow Lens quintuples the power of any 1.25" telescope eyepiece, providing far more magnification than a 2x or 3x Barlow. Featuring a high-quality 4-element lens design, the Orion High-Power 5x Barlow will preserve the optical quality of your telescope and telescope eyepieces while providing a monstrous 5x power boost. The Barlow lens elements are fully multi-coated with anti-reflection coatings to ensure maximum light throughput for bright, crisp views. The lenses are also edge-blackened to further maximize contrast and sharpness. The body of the Orion High-Power 1.25" 5x 4-Element Barlow is machined from solid aluminum with a grip-friendly rubber exterior. The 1.25" barrel is internally threaded for use with Orion 1.25" eyepiece and imaging filters. The inside of the 5x High-Power Barlow's barrel is also glare threaded to help prevent internal reflections. A brass compression ring secures any inserted 1.25" telescope eyepiece in place without marring or scratching the barrel, keeping all eyepieces used with the 5x Barlow in like-new condition. Add the Orion High-Power 5x Barlow to your accessory arsenal for those occasions when you need a super-powerful magnification boost! Weighs just 7 oz.

Orion 8715 High-Power 1.25-Inch 5x 4-Element Barlow Lens Review

I just got my Barlow lens tonight and immediately tested it out viewing Saturn. I was amazed how large the image became. I used it with my Orion SpaceProbe 130ST Equatorial Reflector Telescope with the 10mm lens it came with. This was also in a bright city, with a tiny bit of moisture in the sky.

The image was a bit darker then when using a standard lens but was still crisp enough to see all the detail of Saturn's rings and even five of its larger moons. Be warned though that the image will not be as crisp (at least with my telescope).

I also tried looking at stars but it was a bit blurred and was very hard to focus. This is a known issue since the Barlow lens is designed for planets and lunar.

Overall if you are going to get a Barlow lens this would be the one, since it magnifies at an insane 5x.
