Review on Celestron 93428 X Cel 1 25 Inch Barlow by Brad Cash

Revainrating 2 out of 5

For wide aperture use

This Barlow lens is made of solid material with good optics, but while it triples your focal length, it also triples your focal length. The 650mm f/5 becomes the 1950mm f/15. What was once a fast telescope capable of seeing faint objects has now become a slow telescope that has trouble seeing faint objects. I personally wouldn't go beyond 2x Barlow, but that's just me. However, it can still be good for observing planets.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Available in white only
