LENS ACCESSORIES
Barlow Lens (Select Models)
Some Voyager with Sky Tour units come with a Barlow lens. This accessory will allow you to now have dual
use of any eyepiece. Simply put the Barlow lens between the focusing mechanism and the eyepiece for
reflector style telescopes, or the focusing mechanism and the diagonal mirror on refractor style telescopes.
Depending on the specification written on the Barlow lens, these accessories can double or even triple the
magnification of the eyepiece when used with it. Remember, low power is always recommended, but higher
powers are good especially on bigger and brighter objects such as the moon and planets.
Erecting Lens 1.5X (Select Models Only)
This accessory allows the user to view objects on land as you would naturally see them with your unaided eye.
To use this accessory, simply place the erecting lens in between your eyepiece and the focusing mechanism
on your telescope.
