5. Using the accessories, a bit of math to 
understand how all it works. 

Using the accessories is easy and fun. To 
change magnification simple swap eyepieces. 
To get more magnification simply use the 
barlow lens. But how all of this work? 
 

5.1. Power (magnification)

 

Your telescope as a focal length of 300mm. 
This is approximately the distance between 
the telescope lens to its focal point (very 
similar to the distance between the focus 
point of a loupe and the loupe lens). This is a 
very important feature that allows to 
determine several interesting facts such as 
magnification. 

The magnification is determined by the 
telescopes focal length and the used 
eyepiece. You probably noticed that the two 
supplied eyepieces are H20mm and H6mm. 
This means that the H20mm is a 20mm focal 
length eyepiece while the H6mm is a 6mm 
focal length eyepiece. 

To determine the magnification just devide 
the telescope focal length by the eyepiece 
focal length. Lets give an example for our 
telescope and the supplied eyepieces: 

Telescope focal length is 300mm 
H20 eyepiece focal length is 20 mm 

 

300𝑚𝑚

20𝑚𝑚

= 15 𝑝𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟

 

 

This means that the H20 eyepiece provides a 
15x power (magnification). This seems low but 
try it, you will see a a bright image with some 
very good detail. 

5.2. Barlow Lens 

The barlow lens is a very interesting device. It 
is a negative lens that multiplies the 
telescopes focal length. So a 2x Barlow 
multiplies the original focal length by 2x, in 
this case 

300𝑚𝑚 𝑥 2 = 600𝑚𝑚

A 3x Barlow lens multiplies by 3x. 
Your telescope is supplied with a 2x Barlow 
lens. When used with the H20 eyepiece you 
get 2x the power obtained before 

15𝑝𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑋 2𝑥 𝐵𝑎𝑟𝑙𝑜𝑤 = 30 𝑝𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟

 

 

5.3. Erecting lens

 

The erecting lens gets you a upright image 
view with the telescope. It also adds some 
power like the barlow lens. The supplied 
Erecting Lens provides and extra 1.5x power. 

Here are some examples on how to use the 
accessories.
