Re: ATM Does a Barlow change eye relief ?

["cosmo23" <cosmo23@email.msn.com>]

There are other considerations. Using a Barlow adds weight and is another
item that has to be handled and inserted in to your telescope in the dark. I
would rather use a 5mm eyepiece with a decent eye relief. For me a Barlow is
a cost saver i.e. it doubles your eyepiece collection till you can afford
more eyepieces. David
