Caldwell 14 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I currently own but 3 eyepieces; 32mm TeleVue Plossil, 14mm and 6mm Radians'. Would a x2 Barlow be a worthwhile addition to my collection? My scopes are a 10 inch OO Dobson and a ED100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I may be corrected, but I would say not. The 2x barlow will double the mag power of each eyepiece, so the 32mm would become a 16mm, the 14mm a 7 mm and the 6mm a 3mm. I can't imagine a 3mm being much use in the UK and you already have a decent range without the barlow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caldwell 14 Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 I thought as much, perhaps a 8mm or 10mm then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 If I were you I would be looking for something to bridge the gap between the 32mm and the 14mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Craig is right you need something like a 24mm and a 10mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
