bmitchell82 - Yeah, I don't think I will be doing that massive barlow thing - after I found out how big it would have to be!

Astro744 - My reason for asking was really just for the odd occasion when I might want to push my scope a little bitter harder than normal - perhaps on the moon or on nights of exceptional seeing. It wouldn't be worth me buying another barlow or powermate just for those odd occasions - but if it was easy enough to do a simple barlow extension it would be worth it.

I am only just starting out and slowly purchasing gear - currently I have the 25mm and 10 mm that came with my scope plus a 6mm and 4mm sterling plossl. I have also just recieved what I thought would be my first "real" eyepiece- a baader hyperion zoom. The 2" barlow was bought because the hyperion can be used in 2" mode and the other eyepeices can be used with the adaptor and then when I buy a 2" eyepeice in the future I would already have a barlow to use.

I appreciate the input from you guys -


Thanks
