More aperture for astrophotography and vistual: provide good image with high contrast; ED glass means visible colour aberrations are reduced to minimum with sharp image; all lens surfaces have been provided with multi coated to reduce reflections;
For astrophotography; sometimes more focal length is required in order for them to be seen at a reasonable size in the image especially for compact objects; there is also no shadowing apparent on small image format camera chips for big plus;
Larger diameter has more scope for lenses: 2 inch diameter allows to insert 2 inch eyepieces into this barlow with double magnification; the large lens diameter also means you will notice no shadowing in the image;
Fit all 2" eyepieces with the standard filter thread
Variable polarizing filters are made up of two high-grade glass individual filters; the variable darkening effect is produced by rotating the lower filter relative to the upper one; and it reduces glare without significantly altering the objects' colour for improved perception of detail and for better viewing comfort
