The “Shorty" Barlow gets its name from its compact size. It is just 3" long end to end – about half the length of a standard Barlow lens. It fits easily into any 1.25" star diagonal, so it’s great to use with refractors and Schmidt-Cassegrains. In fact, it works with any type of telescope, but it’s best at focal ratios of f/6 and above.

It uses an achromatic glass doublet lens that’s multicoated for excellent light transmission. The machined and anodized aluminum housing is internally baffled to eliminate unwanted reflections and increase contrast. The barrel is threaded to accept standard 1.25" filters. Two thumbscrews hold eyepieces in place.
