Hi Jake , I have not owned one but I have looked through some as I know quite a few people that have and really like these , also Andrews have a good return policy if you do happen to get a dud .
Money well spent .
Brian.

I think the Guan Sheng barlow, the 2" 2x ED would be better, can be used with your 2" eyepiece, can us ephotographically -can place a wanted Ad here -they often come up for sale
