Description:Just got mine in the mail yesterday and the picture they have on the website DOESNT DO IT JUSTICE ! Awesome barlow, 6.375" long, knurled end at top. Nice coatings, packed in a 2 piece box as well. This barlow I am sure will work well just by the quality of design and craftsmanship - MADE IN JAPAN too !

Used the UO Barlow for six months on a 8" f7 dob.
It works very well, clear with great light transmission.
Eyepieces used with are Russell 2" 40mm, 19mm, 15mm, GTO Proxima 31mm, and even 1.25" Tel vue Radian 8mm (using adaptor) at only the best nights about 360X.
Good value.

These are Japanese optics in a well machined barrel. (this is the 2" UO). Maybe on a really good night you'll see a difference with the AP or Televue. Probably the best 2" value per dollar on the market today.
