Hmm ok... this is all new to me so im still learning.

Well I just tried the Omni 2 x Barlow tonight together with 25mm, 30mm and 9mm. I am very happy with the results when looking at the moon. Images were sharp and clear.

The Ultima Barlow lens sais "The Ultima® Series Barlow (2x – 1¼") is an air-spaced, three element apochromatic design with a 27mm clear aperture".

Does anyone think the difference between these two EP is worth the extra $100 if I return the Omni? Im happy with the Omni at the moment but if this Ultima barlow lens is heaps better, then I would rather that.

Any suggestions would be a great help. Would you pay an extra $100 for the Ultima Barlow? or stick with the Omni.

I think the problem is I havnt looked through a good barlow to be able to tell the difference.

Clear skies ppl
