Powermates

 
 


1¼" Powermates: 2.5x / 5x

These models stand less than 3" out of your focuser and the 5x take 1¼" threaded filters. They are parfocal in ALL 1¼" diagonals and prisms. For this reason, they are highly recommended over standard Barlows for 1¼" refractors such as the Tele Vue Ranger.

The 5x Powermate™ is ideal for long focus CCD and film photography, magnifying about 7.7x. It’s an attractive, high performance alternative to eyepiece projection. The 5x is also perfect for slowing down your scope for Hydrogen-Alpha solar observing.

 


2" Powermates:
2x / 4x

These Powermates™ are a better choice for 2” diagonals than Barlows, since they are nearly Parfocal. They are threaded for 48mm filters and their performance is excellent with every 1.25” and 2” eyepiece we make (yes, even the 31mm Nagler Type 5!). Both the 2” eyepiece holder and the special 2” flat top adapter use our brass clamp rings for secure operation. And, it also has a very unique feature: you can unscrew the 2” eyepiece housing and screw on a special T-ring adapter for solid, compact attachment of CCD or camera equipment.

Excellent with long eye-relief, 2" eyepieces. Using the 4x model, imagine the quality of a 35mm Panoptic at 8.8mm with 25mm of eye relief! The Powermate™ is NOT a Barlow so the Panoptic-Barlow Interface is not needed! The 2" Powermate™ fits all the way into 2" Star Diagonals, requiring minimal refocus compared to a 2" Barlow.

 

Barlows

 
 


1¼" Barlows:
2x / 3x

Offered in 2x and 3x magnifications, these 1¼" Barlows perform identically. Simply choose either or both based on your eyepiece collection. Features include parfocal-ization, 1¼" filter threads, captive lock screws that won't fall out and full multicoatings.
 


2" Big Barlow

Offered in a 2x magnification, the Big Barlow is ideal for Newtonian scope owners. It will be parfocal with both 2" and 1¼" eyepieces in this application. Features include threads for 48mm filters, captive lock screw and full multi-coatings.
 


Barlow Interface

You can double the power of any eyepiece with the 2x Big Barlow, but adding the interface lens brings the pupil back to original position when used with long focal length eyepieces such as the Panoptic 41, 35, or 27mm 2" models. The combination of interface and Big Barlow mimics the Powermate concept.
