The APM Comacorrecting 1 1/4″ ED Double Barlow is a photo-visual, apochromatic 2.7x Barlow with ED glass for correcting the off-axis coma in Newtonian telescopes. It can be combined with a second APM 2.7x Barlow and, when mounted at a defined distance from each other, the magnification increases to 6.25x with retaining the coma correction and image flattening performance.
A single Barlow element provides a magnification factor of 2.7x and a fully illuminated image field of 26mm with a back focus of 105mm (measured from the middle of the last lens). For the 6.25x configuration, two 2.7x elements are simply connected to each another via an extension tube. In this configuration there is a corrected field of 14mm diameter at a distance of 84mm (measured from the center of the last lens).
The double Barlow allows high magnifications for planetary images on Newtonian telescopes with an aperture ratio that also allows high frame rates. To setup this, the camera sensor only needs to be mounted 84mm behind the middle of the last lens.
