Got a cheapo 3x Barlow lens from Aliexpress. Can’t wait to try it out 😎 Barlows are the premium mediocre lenses of astronomy. They raise magnification while doing nothing for resolving power. But under the right conditions they make bright objects look much better.

When I was a kid with my first telescope I felt really guilty about using a 3x Barlow because all the guidebooks acted like it was an uncouth thing to do 😂 Now I don’t care
