double magnification, reduced brightness. Does the job I expected. No obvious faults that I can find. Has been useful to blow-up some of the Saturn/Jupiter features I see with my set-up

While the Barlow Lens promises to offer 2 x magnification of any standard 1.25" eyepiece, buyer beware!!!! I purchased this CELESTRON Barlow lens for my CELESTRON AstroMaster 70EQ, in a hope to gain clearer, closer views of Jupiter and Saturn, currently visible in our night sky. Alas, upon speedy receipt of my new Barlow Lens, I quickly discovered that it is not compatible with my telescope, because it will NOT FOCUS due to there not being enough travel on my focusing mechanism. I was so close to the image coming into focus when my barrel reached it's full travel distance inwards with no more room to move. I believe the Barlow Lens will come in handy looking at very distant stars or galaxies, but it certainly won't focus on closer objects like planets which is the whole reason I purchased it.Read full review

A great way to double the capabilities of your existing eyepieces. I'm just a beginner but this is an economical way to expand your magnification levels. Would recommend!
