Celestron X-Cel LX 3x Barlow Lens

1. Apochromatic (APO) Design: The X-Cel LX 3x Barlow stands out with its apochromatic optical design, incorporating ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) glass. This advanced construction virtually eliminates chromatic aberration, delivering images that are exceptionally sharp, true-to-color, and free from distracting color fringing. It ensures a premium viewing experience whether observing planetary details or deep-sky objects.

2. Fully Multi-Coated Optics: Every air-to-glass surface of this Barlow lens is fully multi-coated with multiple layers of optical coatings. This optimizes light transmission throughout the lens system, maximizing brightness and contrast while reducing internal reflections and ghosting. The result is consistently clear and vibrant views, even under challenging light conditions.

3. Non-Marring Brass Compression Ring: Designed with user convenience and eyepiece care in mind, the X-Cel LX features a brass compression ring that securely holds your 1.25-inch eyepieces in place. Unlike traditional set screws that can scratch eyepiece barrels, this gentle yet firm mechanism prevents damage, preserving the aesthetic and functionality of your valuable accessories.

4. Sleek and Functional Design: The X-Cel LX 3x Barlow boasts a modern and durable design. Its barrel is threaded to accept standard 1.25-inch astronomy filters, allowing for versatile application in various viewing scenarios. The sturdy construction and reliable performance make it an indispensable tool for astronomers looking to expand their magnification options with existing eyepieces.
