Quest For Power
I'm currently using a 8" f/6 dob with a Baader Hyperion 13mm and SWA 32mm eyepieces which are both fantastic. I want to get a bit more power and it seems like a barlow is the right option. I'm looking at getting a GSO 2.5x apochromatic barlow to use with the 13mm eyepiece to get about 230x magnification.
Will this work? The GSO barlows are cheap and seem to be well spoken of by their users on these forums. I also heard some issues raised in passing about longer focal length eyepieces being barlowed and giving adverse effects, will this ruin my plan?
Any guidance is appreciated.
Cheers,
Joel.
