NEW This stunning three element photovisual Barlow system delivers a high contrast colour free, apochromatic 2x and 1.5x magnification with any eyepiece or camera! This is the cleverest design Barlow lens we've ever seen!

Unique British design

The design and manufacture is British.

This is a great-quality 3 element Barlow at any price, but at under £90 the beautiful and yet ultra-functional design makes the Astro Engineering Supreme optical amplifier range one of the world's best quality Barlow systems.

Good looks, pin sharp performance - and a killer secret under its hat !

The smart looks of the Supreme Barlow hide a cunning secret. The twist-lock eyepiece holder is a joy to use - it holds the eyepiece rigidly with the lightest twist of the contoured lock ring. A nylon collet actually grabs the eyepiece barrel, centering it perfectly (not tilting the eyepiece or pushing it to one side as the usual cross screws will), ensuring that your precious eyepieces will not be marked no matter how tightly you lock it in.

Then simply unscrew the lock ring to reveal a standard T thread! Any standard T2 mounting ring can now be added to this thread to allow the Supreme AC710 Barlow to be used with any digital or film SLR camera.

It's a beautifully simple design that is ultra-functional both visually, used with your existing 1.25" eyepieces, and astro-photographically! The fact that the AE Supreme Barlow performs in either of these modes better than any other competitor product would be exceptional. But that it out performs other Barlows visually and photographically is simply stunning. A big hooray for British design again!

Ideally suited to the job of planet observing with a high quality telescope system. The lens works brilliantly with eyepieces and cameras as well - and is the ideal accessory for use with the wide range of short-focus refractors currently available.

The fully multi-coated apochromatic three-element optics provide excellent high-resolution and high-contrast images. The inter nose-piece is chrome-plated brass - the optical barral has a clear aperture over 20mm. The eyepiece holder is machined-turned from solid aluminium and finished in black anodising. Even the dust cap is turned from solid material.

Supplied in an anti-shock foam-filled bolt bottle storage case.
