Hi,
I'm wondering if I can combine these two things on my 10" Dob. I have a 2" adapter which I've not used yet. So, does the adapter just go on the end of the Barlow or something like that? I don't have a 2" ep yet but am in the market for a new decent one, either 2" or 1.25".
Thanks for your views,
Mark

Sorry theres no way to make a 2" eyepiece fit into a 1.25" barlow, unless that eyepiece is a dual 2/1.25 type like a 22mm panoptic. Even so they never seem to quite fit mechanically.

If you are interested in a 2" barlow I do have one advertised for sale on this site ;)

Thanks for the info Geoff. Not sure if I'm in the market for another Barlow just yet. May stick with the 1.25" setup for a while longer.
