I have the Baader Mark 4 zoom lens and I am pleased with its performance, only was wondering if there are whatever pros to using the Baader Barlow lens as apposed to whatever other brand barlow. Your thoughts and comments would be appreciated.

I had both... their Barlow seems pretty well matched rather than a generic add together on... also it is very small, and makes for a nice consolidated parcel.

When I bought my Baader Mark 4 zoom there was a discount for ownership the barlow at the same time. After I tried the zoom I decided to purchase the barlow, likewise, but they wouldn't give me the discount, because I didn't buy them at the same time. The barlow works very nicely with the zoom and gives me the higher powers I need when viewing planets. Planet flavor is coming.

I bought both at the aforementioned time and they work nicely together. A couple nights agone I was able to run into 4 separate Trapezium stars in Orion with my 120mm apo using the zoom + barlow. I haven't been doing this for very long, so I might be doing it wrong, or the weather might be worse than I thought they were, only that seemed like a good issue to me.

Given that four Trapezium stars tin can be spotted in 20x binoculars, that doesn't really say much about the zoom + barlow combination.

How to put this delicately. The Baader zoom Barlows well with any and all Barlows, no thing how awful. That includes unreconstructed Meade shorties and the god-atrocious Baader Q-Barlow. The Baader zoom only loves Barlows. The dedicated Barlow for the Baader zoom has the advantage of size. I don't know how well it works with other eyepieces.

The Baader Barlow is said to be optically optimized for the Baader Hyperion Zoom, how true is that? -- seems and then when the philharmonic zoom-barlow was tested and results posted in a weblog mail here: Baader 2.25x Barlow & Hyperion three.5-x.5mm Zoom. When it comes to barlows, the Televue barlows are standards by which other barlows may be measured, and having both barlow brands to compare, the Baader barlow functioning do approximate the TV 2x in terms of optical prowess. Worth mentioning is that as had been posted earlier, the Baader zoom is barlow-friendly and then it easily works with all sort of barlows.
Best,

I have the original Baader zoom. I use it with my GSO 2X ii" barlow or my Datyson 2X barlow, both with good results. I have not tried information technology with a Baader barlow.

I bought both at the same fourth dimension and they work nicely together. A couple nights ago I was able to run across 4 separate Trapezium stars in Orion with my 120mm apo using the zoom + barlow. I oasis't been doing this for very long, then I might be doing it wrong, or the atmospheric condition might be worse than I idea they were, but that seemed like a good issue to me.
I did the same, only in my 100 Lunt 45 caste APO's, in that location is not enough backfocus to achieve focus with the barlows at any power setting in the zooms, or with any of my other eyepieces. Otherwise, the 8-24 zooms were slap-up optically, just the narrow field bothered me. The click-stops were hard to feel, and took a lot of fiddling to be sure I was getting the eyepieces coordinated power wise in my binoculars. I decided that single power eyepieces were meliorate for me, and I have more than the total range of magnification covered with fixed ability eyepieces, so decided I wouldn't use the zooms enough to exist worthwhile. I sent them back.
It would have probably been a different story if the barlows would have come up to focus though.

Given that iv Trapezium stars can exist spotted in 20x binoculars, that doesn't really say much about the zoom + barlow combination.
Like I said, I'thou new at this. I don't know enough about seeing weather to know whether that was a good event given the atmospheric condition or not. My skys weren't very dark either, since I'm in the suburbs with streetlights around. I don't know how much that impacted what I could see. All I know is that it wasn't easy to see them clearly.

Like I said, I'm new at this. I don't know enough about seeing conditions to know whether that was a expert effect given the atmospheric condition or not. My skys weren't very dark either, since I'k in the suburbs with streetlights effectually. I don't know how much that impacted what I could run into. All I know is that information technology wasn't easy to see them clearly.
Ninelives,
He is not being critical of you or the eyepiece. His point was that this is non a very challenging target. If y'all had said that you tried a Tele Vue Nagler ix mm and could see the iv stars it would take been the same thing.
Just report what you meet. Over time you lot will learn what is challenging and what is not.
Enjoy what y'all encounter and don't permit anyone spoil that for y'all.

Like I said, I'1000 new at this. I don't know plenty about seeing atmospheric condition to know whether that was a skilful result given the conditions or not. My skys weren't very nighttime either, since I'm in the suburbs with streetlights around. I don't know how much that impacted what I could come across. All I know is that information technology wasn't easy to see them clearly.
It's just your conditions. The fun thing is y'all tin track such a target over time and learn a lot most what makes for a good view and what messes it up. Something nice to try over the coming weeks, as Orion shifts towards the west, is to attempt and view the Trapezium as early as possible in twilight - Orion's bright stars assist you locate it. You then get the parallel impact of the viewing conditions changing as night progresses (ofttimes the turbulence changes a lot in the showtime two hours after sunset), alongside with your vision irresolute every bit darkness increases.

Ninelives,
He is non being critical of you lot or the eyepiece. His point was that this is not a very challenging target. If yous had said that you lot tried a Tele Vue Nagler 9 mm and could encounter the 4 stars it would have been the same affair.
Just report what you see. Over time you will learn what is challenging and what is non.
Enjoy what you see and don't let anyone spoil that for you.
Cheers for your kind words. I may not accept come across equally I intended, considering I did not feel like he was criticizing me, although it did sound like he was criticizing my experience level and/or the equipment (which I think is totally off-white to practice). I was reiterating that I really am not very experienced with viewing yet, then my inexperience may well make an relatively piece of cake target for a seasoned viewer into a more difficult ane for me. I don't have a problem with that, since I know I will go better. I welcome all suggestions or feedback.
As I wait back on it, I remember the seeing was probably quite poor that night, equally it'south apt to be in Idaho in February. The weather changes wildly from one hour to the next, so the seeing could also take had a heavy impact on my viewing experience. I wait forward to viewing the Trap stars under better weather condition to run into if that makes a difference.
Either fashion, this was the first time I had ever viewed the Orion Nebula in a telescope, and I was amazed!
Edit: And thank you lot, Mark, for your suggestion nigh following Orion over the coming weeks. I will be sure to practise that to come across the differences unfold.
