Edmund vs Televue 2X barlow

Posted By Arthur Foreman

I am buying a 4.5 Orion Dob to get my 11 year old son going. Also plan to add a 10" Orion Intelliscope in the future.
I have a 70's era 6" Edmunds "Super Space Conquerer" reflector on EM that I haven't used for about 15 years. With the Edmunds I have an old adjustable Barlow lens.

Question- Would a Televue or other 2X Barlow be recommended or is the Edmunds probably just fine-- even if I add a 10" Dob.

Thanks
