I no longer have a barlow. The ones I had were "average" brands (including those mentioned above) but all had the same effect: softer image and harder to find perfect focus. IMHO, the image will be better with a shorter f/l eyepiece (assuming it's a reasonable eyepiece).

(I'm thinking of buying one again, but only for planetary photography - probably a TeleVue Powermate).
