Greetings! Is this lens suitable for Levenhuk Strike 60 NG?

Customer service:

Hello! Does this lens fit Celestron AstroMaster 130 EQ?

Customer service:

Yes, this lens is suitable for use with your. The important thing is not to exceed the highest practical power of the instrument.

Cody Knox (2015.07.07)

Thanks for your help. Can I still get even higher magnification by adding this Barlow lens?

Customer service:

Barlow lens is unnecessary in this combination. If you add a Barlow lens, you won't be able to see a thing.

Cody Knox (2015.07.05)

Hello!
My telescope is Levenhuk Skyline PRO 80 MAK. I want to purchase Barlow lens, and maybe smth else that you advice in order to increase my telescope's capabilities.

Customer service:

To achieve the maximum useful magnification of the Levenhuk Skyline PRO 80 MAK telescope we recommend using 7-mm eyepiece.

Travis Sevilla (2014.09.02)

Hi! Does Levenhuk 5x Barlow Lens fit Celestron NexStar 90 SLT telescope?

Customer service:

Levenhuk 5x Barlow Lens is suitable for any telescope with 1.25" barrel diameter, but, it's important to keep in mind, which eyepieces you are going to use with it.

Teres Dean (2014.08.01)

Is this lens suitable for Levenhuk Strike 900 PRO?

Customer service:

Yes, Levenhuk 5x Barlow Lens is suitable for the Levenhuk Strike 900 PRO telescope. When used together with 25 mm eyepiece from the standard kit it will give you the maximum useful magnification.

Max (2014.07.28)

Eyepieces are fine, but their capabilities are still limited. I see Saturn for instance as a small pea. Astronomical programs at the same time show that with 5x Barlow lens and 4 mm eyepiece it's possible to see detailed images of Saturn... Or will image be distorted too much?

Customer service:

The maximum useful magnification of your telescope is 300x. And with both 4 mm eyepiece and 5x Barlow Lens your telescope will produce 1520x. So yes, unfortunately image quality will be poor and you won't be able to see a thing.

Tim Pharr (2014.06.13)

Is this lens suitable for Celestron AstroMaster 70 AZ

Customer service:

Yes, Levenhuk 5x Barlow Lens is suitable for this telescope model.

Michael Hamburg (2014.04.30)

I have a Celestron Edge 11HD. How would this item perform for planetary imaging with an Imaging Source video camera?

Customer service:

Dear Michael, thank you for interest in Levenhuk products. Unfortunately, the Levenhuk 5x Barlow lens is currently out of stock. But the 5x Barlow lens will not fit your telescope as the highest useful magnification of your telescope is 560x. With the 5x Barlow lens and 23mm eyepiece (which comes with your telescope) it will reach 608x. If you go beyond 560x, image quality will be become poorer and blurred. In order to get the highest useful magnification, you need a 5mm eyepiece. We have a 5 mm eyepiece in stock, you can find it here: http://www.levenhuk.com/catalogue/accessories/telescope-accessories/telescope-eyepieces/levenhuk-ra-ler-5mm-1-25-eyepiece/ Is there any additional information you might need? Looking forward to your reply.

Chris Culver (2014.04.20)

How do I attach a camera to this lens?

Customer service:

Unfortunately there is no possibility of camera connection for Levenhuk 5x Barlow Lens.

Andy Wilkerson (2013.12.24)

Please tell me if this lens fits Levenhuk Skyline PRO 80MAK

Customer service:

Levenhuk 5x Barlow Lens fits any telescope, including Levenhuk Skyline PRO 80MAK.

Charlie Savage (2013.12.04)

Good day. I guess this one fits Levenhuk Skyline 70x700, right? will an image be dull and blured with SUPER 25mm (28x)?

Customer service:

Levenhuk 5x Barlow Lens + 25mm eyepiece + Levenhuk Skyline 70x700 telescope altogether provide the magnification of 140x. The image won't be blurred but you have to keep in mind that the only way to get the clearest and high-quality images is by using an eyepiece alone, without any Barlow lenses. In your case consider using the Levenhuk Ra LER 5 mm eyepiece: http://www.levenhuk.com/catalogue/accessories/telescope-accessories/telescope-eyepieces/levenhuk-ra-ler-5mm-1-25-eyepiece/

RICK CONLEY (2013.11.28)

Does it make sense to attach it to Dicom n800203 eq4?

Customer service:

Levenhuk 5x Barlow Lens fits any telescope with 1.25" barrel diameter. So attaching it or not depends on eyepieces you own, more exactly on how much x you want to get.

Derek Morehead (2013.05.20)

How do I use Barlow lens? Can I attach it to meade starnavigator 90mm?

Customer service:

1. Barlow lens should be inserted in the eyepiece tube in front of the eyepiece. 2. Yes, it's suitable for Meade StarNavigator 90 mm.
