Baader Planetarium 4x - 8x - the worlds best Barlow lens.

For the first time in astronomical history a fully multicoated astronomical Abarlow lens@ has been designed with multiple CaF2 Fluorite elements (real CaF2 - not common EDGlass!). The result is a stunning performer. This is not a simple barlow lens at all. The FFC optical design provides a flat field covering a 90mm circle with apochromatic correction from 3x to 8x focal extension. This unique design works equally well on all optical systems - be it f 4.5 newtonians f8 apochromatic refractors or f10 Schmidt-Cassegrains.

Our trademarked Astro T-2 System 7 provides each and every adapter in order to use the CaF2 Flatfield-Converter in conjunction with a widest array of telescopes SLR or Digitalcameras eyepieces a. o. related equipment. A separate group of 6x6 Spacer tubes Changers T-Rings and 2 adapters is available to offer unequaled performance for medium format cameras or 2 eyepieces.
