Review on Celestron 93428 X Cel 1 25 Inch Barlow by Kristen Simpson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I feel robbed!

hole) Was surprised when I took it off, it was bigger than I thought. (1st impression) It seems that first impression was a factor in its development. Looks good, feels good. (Use) inserted, looked and was satisfied, but only a little bit. It was humid outside, so I assumed the humid air was affecting the quality of what I was seeing. Well it's super clear tonight and I went out to look and ponder to compare stock 3× Barlow. When I switched them to the new one I couldn't believe the new Barlow was so much better than the standard Barlow. They're both 3x magnification and I thought I knew it would look better, but it turned out to be 2-3x magnification and exponentially higher resolution. Not only am I pleased I'm shocked, pissed off is also a good description of the simple fact that a standard barlow is an insult so Celestron if you're reading this throw away that crap and give a better barlow please

Pros
  • Rubber grip prevents accidental drops
Cons
  • Obsolete model
