1.25" Barlow and 2" EP?

Hi,
I'm wondering if I can combine these two things on my 10" Dob. I have a 2" adapter which I've not used yet. So, does the adapter just go on the end of the Barlow or something like that? I don't have a 2" ep yet but am in the market for a new decent one, either 2" or 1.25".
Thanks for your views,
Mark

Sorry theres no way to make a 2" eyepiece fit into a 1.25" barlow, unless that eyepiece is a dual 2/1.25 type like a 22mm panoptic. Even so they never seem to quite fit mechanically.

If you are interested in a 2" barlow I do have one advertised for sale on this site

Thanks for the info Geoff. Not sure if I'm in the market for another Barlow just yet. May stick with the 1.25" setup for a while longer.
