Hi

I currently have the Celestron Ultima Barlow... I was wondering if it was worth the upgrade to a televue 2.5x barlow... or even if it is an upgrade??

Which is better??

Thanks

Mark,

I have owned both the 2.5x Powermate and an Ultima 2x Barlow. IMO, the performance between the two are close. So much so that I sold the Powermate and purchased another Ultima along with some other toys with the money left over. Also, consider the frequency you will be using these amplifiers/barlows. I don't use them that often, so to me it made more since to put money into something I was going to use more often.
