Barlowing OrthoscopicsPosted By Vahe Sahakian |
You probably do not want to hear this but my take on barlow is a bit different.
First, I also use Orthos all the time, but my scopes are all long focus and require no barlows, but if I am forced to use barlow and am willing to accept additional glass in the light path then for me the best solution is to get an eyepiece with some form of built-in Barlow, most of these have generous eye relief and work reasonably well on planets.
Another option is Tak LE series, their 7.5mm is my choice planetary eyepiece with binoviewer.
