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;
STANDARD 2INCH FILTER THREAD: The 2inch Moon and Skyglow Filter is simply screwed into the eyepiece thread; also; the filter will fit all standard sized 2inch eyepieces and accessories; it is threaded on both sides for stacking with other filters if necessary
Premium Image Quality: Reducing the brightness of the moon and improving contrast and surface detail; reduces glare and improves definition; this can be useful when viewing the sky in areas where there is a lot of light pollution
