This review is on the GSO 2x shorty barlow and the GSO 15mm super plossl eyepiece. last night i was first looking through the GSO 2x barlow and the GSO 15mm eyepiece with my Apex 90mm Min-EQ Mak-Cass telescope.I first had the barlow and the orion 25mm Sirius Plossl looking at Jupiter it was pretty clear i could defiantly see the difference than when i just had the orion 25mm Sirius Plossl,it was pretty nice with the barlow and 25mm.When i had the barlow and the 15mm eyepiece it kinda got blurry,but i still could see Jupiter and some of the brown stuff on the planet .When i just had the 15mm it was clear and pretty nice i could see Jupiter very very clear .i was kinda hoping for more, but for only spending $47.15 (including shipping) for the barlow and the eyepiece it got the job done AKA (works good). i don't regret buying it!

You sound like a happy man John - it's always good when something you purchase does the job and meets your expectations.

Hi johnDa, this may have been the seeing conditions - you should be able to get fairly sharp focus - in the centre of the view at least. Keep trying different nights and you may find some nights on which the view is very sharp, or is sharp more often then it is blurry. Happy viewing!
