Tele Vue 2X 1.25″ Barlow Lens

🌌 Product Description

The Tele Vue 2.5x Powermate 1.25″ is one of the finest image amplifiers available for serious astronomy enthusiasts and astrophotographers. Unlike traditional Barlow lenses, the Powermate uses an advanced four-element telecentric optical design that preserves eye relief, minimizes vignetting, and maintains edge-to-edge sharpness across the entire field of view.

Designed by legendary optical engineer Al Nagler, the 2.5x Powermate increases your telescope’s effective focal length by 2.5 times while maintaining exceptional image quality for both visual observation and imaging applications. It performs especially well with premium eyepieces, planetary imaging cameras, ADCs, and binoviewers. Community users frequently praise Powermates for their stable amplification factor and excellent compatibility with complex imaging trains.

Its compact 1.25″ format makes it ideal for refractors, SCTs, Maksutovs, and Dobsonian telescopes using 1.25″ accessories. The Powermate is parfocal in most 1.25″ diagonals and prisms, requiring minimal refocusing during use.
