binoviewer question

hi all

just wondering if anyone has experience enough with binoviewers to give me some advice.

just got a great set of binoviewers (i get headaches after looking through my scope with one eye!) and tried them out first up in my dobsonian - and you guessed it, i cant achieve focus. So i did a bit of reading around and although these binoviewers were marketed as being compatible with newtonians, i have read that it has something to do with the focal length etc (i am only very new to astronomy). Anyway, the binoviewers came with a 1.5 barlow which i assume is fine for other scopes. So my question is, if i use a 2x barlow will i be able to achieve focus?

thanks for any help & advice!
