Re: BARLOW LENES
Good news. Try without barlow, first.
Just call me Geoff....
I do what I do because I can, and because I want to.
It doesn't mean I know what I'm doing

Re: BARLOW LENES
Hi Peter. I agree with Geoff. I have waited for years to get a Lunt60 Ha scope. In the meanwhile, I use a Teleview 2.5x Powermate with my Mak-Cass telescope and older ASI120 camera for lunar and planetary work. When I finally get the Lunt60, the Powermate will also be my choice.
I hope this helps Peter, and the best of regards.

Re: BARLOW LENES
The TelVue Powermates are vastly superior to Barlows, especially with a Lunt 60.
Tinker around with the cheaper barlows first and switch to Powermates once you have an idea of what magnification you'll want... A 2.5x Powermate will likely work just fine for you.
