    You can do this another way, by putting the barlow in between the eyepiece and the diagonal. This is one of the main reasons why some barlows have a belt tensioning system instead of a standard bolt tensioning system.
    There is another problem though with some barlows being so long that you can't focus your telescope. This is one major disadvantage of the "Eyepiece > Diagonal > Barlow" arrangement as opposed to the "Eyepiece > Barlow > Diagonal" arrangement, but the blurring could also be because of poor seeing conditions and maximum magnification.
    Barlows also work by spacing, and as such : if you move your Barlow lens further away from the eyepiece, you get more magnification, thus sometimes blurring your images.
    How to calculate maximum magnification :
    Telescope aperture in inches x 50
    Telescope aperture in mm x 2
    How to calculate seeing conditions :
    3.5 arcseconds or more : Poor seeing conditions
    3.4 - 2.5 arcseconds : Fair seeing conditions
    2.4 - 1.7 arcseconds : Good seeing conditions
    1.6 - 1 arcseconds : Great seeing conditions
    1 arcseconds or less : Excellent seeing conditions

      does this mean my telescope that has 70mm aperture should get a barlow below 1.40x zoom

    • @hunter133official
      @hunter133official Місяць тому

      @@bonk747klm If your high-powered eyepiece powers around 100x, then yes, but I recommend you only get a barlow for the low powered eyepiece, since 1.4x barlows don't exist, and if they do, they'll either come from some cheap chinese brand or an exotic, highly expensive one like some of the discontinued AstroPhysics products.

      Read above comment. Not doing it wrong if you put it before or after the diagonal piece. Just diff magnification

  • @bauertime
    @bauertime 11 місяців тому +7

    Placing the barlow in front of the diagonal increases the power to more than 2x. It is 2x power if you place the barlow after the diagonal with the eyepiece in the barlow.The further distance between the eyepiece and the barlow, the higher the power magnification.

  • @blankmelo9316
    @blankmelo9316 11 місяців тому +2

    ⚠️ Warning!⚠️ If you have a small scope a barlow will make your view through the eyepiece blurry. If you want higher magnification you need to multiply your apperature by 50 in inches, and by 2 in mm. That's the maximal magnification your telescope can handle. To get the magnification of the eyepiece divide your focal length by the eyepiece diameter and multiply the result by the Barlow magnification. If the number is lower than your telescopes max magnification you'll be fine with the barlow.

    • @marcolaurettobon
      @marcolaurettobon  Рік тому

      Did you try it in the daytime? If that's not the problem, then it's one of these 3:
      1. Since it increases magnification, it makes objects dimmer (so you might not have pointed your telescope to something bright enough)
      2. You may not have removed the lid (I hope not)
      3. When observing at night, you moved out of the field of view when you changed eyepieces

      Also doing that will turn 2x into 3x Barlow “celestron”
      Also you couldn’t focus it for most of celestron and other telescope
      (Here some tricks : for doing that I recommend removing the diagonal and putting the eyepieces directly in the Barlow instead because the area where the light collide will go beyond the normal without Barlow lens 2.put it after the diagonal that’s a lot more simple also)

    your actually wrong bro, the barlow multiplies lenght of your microscope, basically making your microscope longer so you can magnify with more strenght without going over the limit of your scope.
