How Do You Use The Barlow Lens With The Sky-Watcher SK1206AZ3 Short Tube Refractor Telescope?
A Barlow lens is an additional lens that can be attached to the Sky-Watcher SK1206 Short Tube Refractor Telescope to enhance the telescope’s focal length. The greater the focal length, the higher is the magnifying power. In a nutshell, a Barlow lens increases the magnification of the telescope. Moreover, the lens renders a sharper image by reducing image imperfection due to refraction (in standard lenses). Sharper images are better for your eyes. Here’s how you can attach the Barlow lens to the Sky-Watcher SK1206AZ3 Short Tube Refractor Telescope. Insert the Barlow lens between the diagonal and the eyepiece of your telescope. Alternatively, insert the Barlow lens between the focuser and the diagonal. This will increase the magnifying power further as compared to Step 1. Ensure that the lens is tightly fixed.
