barlow problem

[JJDOBBER79]

Hi there,
Im posting this on behalf of my dad as he is not a member. He recently got a skywatcher heritage 5" and he is having trouble focusing on anything when using the barlow. I believe it is a bintel 2X. Is it possible that he may not have enough in focus so needs an extension tube?????. Has anyone used a 2X barlow with this scope???

Hi,
I've used mine with one of these (http://www.ozscopes.com.au/skywatcher-2x-1-25-single-barlow-lens.html) Barlows and it works fine.

Cheers
