How to use the Barlow Lens of F70060 Telescope?

In this video, I will teach you how to use the Barlow lens of the F70060 Telescope.
Using the Barlow lens of the F70060 telescope is tricky, even in the instruction manual.
Since many of you have commented on my other videos on how to use the Barlow lens of the F70060 telescope, and some of you guys are requesting me to make a video about it, here's my tutorial. I hope this video can help you out.

Hey there! I have the exact same thing ( it is my relative's telescope ) , I tried attaching the Barlow directly to the diagonal but now I got to know how to use it 👍🏻 .

[@ShanesTech]

Hi there. Thank you for watching, I hope it can help you out. Have a nice day! 👊🏻😀 If you have any questions, just ask anytime. 👊🏻😀

Thanks brother great help it works perfectly now . I was trying to use it otherwise

[@ShanesTech]

You’re welcome. Thank you.

[@welmercanto4772]

thanks bro! last year pa F70060 ko pero ngayon ko lang nalaman pano gamitin ang barlow lens. Tanong ko lang bro, if may 0.965" to 1.25" eyepiece adapter na ako, pwde pa rin gamitin yung stock barlow lens then ikabit ang eyepiece adapter para malagay ang 1.25" plossl eyepiece?

[@MrDragonWrrg]

Hi first of all thank you so much for being the inly video in youtube which was concise towards its topic. But i had a question i have a cheap 50/400 scope which i got as a gift, can i see planets with that? If so can i attach the diagonal with the barlow and then lool through the eyepiece?

[@ShanesTech]

Hi there. Yes, you can see the planets with your telescope, but with the Barlow lens, I am doubtful since we have different focal and aperture size of the telescopes. Try to use the 4mm eyepiece first if you have any without the barlow :) Thank you!

[@user-zy6pd8qv5d]

Can you please make a video showing how to assemble the lens and eyepieces section? My pieces all came apart and now I can’t figure out how anything goes! Thank you so much.

[@ShanesTech]

Good day. I'd like to help you out but unfortunately, I'm currently out of town and still not sure when to go back. Thank you for your understanding.

Diagonal using barlow lens

[@Chriscers]

Sir Shane!!! Thank you very much for this, I dont know if you remember me, I also asked you like 7 months ago??? Because I bought my Telescope same model as you illustrate, and for the 7 months I just learned from you, that U just need to remove the Diagonallll, OMG am so boastful, thats why im wondering why 20mm plus barlow are so blurry, its because of the mirror on the diagonal, Btw nice information thank you so much!!!

[@ShanesTech]

Walang anuman po. Thank you po sa panonood! 👊😀

[@Ariful_1981]

is there invert image with this barlow lens? if invert image appear how fix it?

[@ShanesTech]

Hi there. Yes, the image is inverted when using the 3x Barlow lens. It can be fixed by using the 1.5x erecting lens or by purchasing another Barlow lens. Thank you. Ask anytime. 👊🏻😀

[@endoftheworld29]

Does all barlow lense and MM lenses fit on other telescopes as well?

[@ShanesTech]

Good day. No sir, some Barlow lenses and other eyepieces comes in different sizes, like 0.965”,1.25” and 2” unless you have the right adapter so you can fit them to the telescope. Thank you.

[@peace7439]

THANKS a lot from past 2 years i was using it the wrong way and thinking that lens is faulty

[@AstroPratham115]

Can we fit diagonal mirror in 3x Barlow lens 🤔

[@enki5228]

Thank you so mucchhhhhhh btw why mine so blurry?

[@ShanesTech]

Hi there. Things will be blurry if your object isn’t that far. You need to point your telescope to distant object when using Barlow lens. Remember, using the 3x Barlow lens of your F70060 telescope will triple (3x) the magnification of your current eyepiece. You also have to keep twisting the focuser wheel until the view is crisp. Thank you. Ask anytime. 👊😀

[@geometrymanship70]

Can I combine the barlow lens with the prism?

[@ShanesTech]

Hi there, yes you can if you have the right diameter for the Barlow and the eyepiece adapter. I was able to combine it with the help of the 3rd party accessories. Thank you!

[@Kalel.K]

I am using a f70060 telescope like yours but I am unable to focus at Jupiter. Do you have any suggestions?

[@ShanesTech]

Hi there, it depends on the eyepiece that you are using. The only way is to keep twisting the focuser wheel until the object is sharp and clear. However, there are times that you won't be able to see the planet clearly due to an unstable atmosphere which can lead to poor seeing. Try to observe the planets at different times, and I suggest using the 12.5mm or 4mm eyepieces. Each eyepiece has a different focusing distance. Thank you. Ask anytime. 👊😀

[@Kalel.K]

Thank you So much! I also love your videos! 😃👍🏻

[@magneticubeabt88]

Why is the picture the other way around?

[@ShanesTech]

Hi there. Because the image is inverted. It is normal on telescopes to see a reversed image as it is how the lenses and mirrors work. Thank you! :)

[@astro_kozuki]

Can you tell me which is good? f70060 Or f70076 telescope?

[@user-ig7ob1gj2r]

f70076 is better

[@dominiq6127]

will the 60/700 telescope be good for watching planes that fly 11km above the ground?

[@ShanesTech]

Hi there. Yes, but since it’s a manual telescope it might be difficult to trace or track the planes because as you zoom further, the faster the planes move across the field of view of the telescope and the telescope is prone to shake or vibrations when using high magnification. Thank you!

Hi there. No worries lol. I was able to achieve crisp & clear image by adjusting the focuser wheel and yes the antenna in the video is a bit far. Here’s my video about Fixing the blurry view: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKSnp35nhZ1-rac Thank you very much. Ask anytime. 👊🏻😀

[@dewanrahim2374]

Can I add the angle prism at last?

[@ShanesTech]

Hi there. You can’t add the angled prism when using the 3x Barlow lens as the telescope won’t be able to focus. When using 3x Barlow, it is important to not include the angled prism. Thank you.

[@pablojr.1805]

What is Angled prism?

[@vaibhavjain7938]

Hi there! I have the exact telescope I tried attaching 3x Barlow lens and sr4mm but unable to see moon pls suggest me how use it and which lenses are good to see moon and other planets

[@ShanesTech]

Hi there. When using the 3x Barlow lens of the F70060 telescope, don’t put the angled/erecting eyepiece because it won’t focus. Also, using 3x Barlow pairing it with 4mm eyepiece will produce a very poor view due to chromatic aberration. I suggest to use 20mm or 12.5mm eyepiece. 4mm eyepiece will do as well. Just don’t combine 3x Barlow lens and 4mm eyepiece at the same time. For planetary and lunar viewing. I recommend to use any of the 20mm, 12.5mm or 4mm. Without the use of the Barlow lens. Thank you.

Inverted image

[@manuelpriete7657]

Bakit baliktad sa akin pati maliit ko na telescope baliktad pag tiningnan.

[@ShanesTech]

Good afternoon po. Normal lang po na baliktad ang view sa finderscope dahil wala pong prism ang finderscope at normal lang din na baliktad sa main telescope pag walang diagonal. Yung diagonal po kasi ang nag cocorrect ng view sa telescope, pero dahil gagamit po ng barlow ng f70060, need po tanggalin ang diagonal para hindi blurred ang view kaya nagiging baliktad po ang view. Para po ma correct ang view na hindi gagamit ng diagonal pero parang nakabarlow pa din, yung gagamitin niyo po ay ang 1.5x erecting eyepiece. Yung 1.5x erecting eyepiece po ay hindi po nakabaliktad ang view kahit walang diagonal. Thank you po. Ask anytime. 👊😀

[@rudytheastro.5023]

We do have the same type of focal lenght telescope, i didnt know pwede pala sya ma attach ng ibang finderscope (red dot finder). Saan mo yan binili? pwede pa send link? :D

[@ShanesTech]

Good day po. Yes po sir, pwede po mag attach ng red dot finder. Sa shopee ko po nabili last year 392 pesos po price that time. Kaso does not exist na po pag inopen ko ang link pero baka may iba pa po kayong mahanap. Careful lang po sa pagpili baka yung walang holes po ang mabili. Yung basehan ko po ay may butas sa may mount/base niya yun po ang binili ko. Eto po link: shopee.ph/TOP-red-dot-finder-mirror-with-holes-i.98802109.2325296586 Salamat po. Ask anytime. 👊🏻😀

[@ShanesTech]

Good day po. Yes, po hindi po maaapektuhan ang tube ng scope pag inattach or niremove ang finderscope. Bale kung pano niyo po inattach yung stock finderscope, same din po ang method para sa red dot finder. Yung dalawang screw po sa tube ng telescope ang mag hohold sa red dot finder. Halos po kasi ng red dot finder walang butas na same sa stock finder scope, kaya careful po sa pagpili. Thank you po. Aak anytime. 👊🏻😀

[@liftoff4169]

Goods lang po ba yung chromatic abbreviation nya hindi naman po medyo malakas?

Good day, para sakin okay lang po yung chormatic aberration niya pag low magnification gamit. Pero mas nababawasan yung aberration niya pag e uupgrade yung eyepieces. Thank you.

[@dimplelou5558]

Why it is so blur to me I can't even see it

[@ShanesTech]

Hi there. Probably your telescope is out of focus, you need to keep twisting the focuser wheel until the view is sharp enough. I don’t recommend to combine the 4mm eyepiece and the 3x barlow lens. Only use 20mm when using 3x Barlow lens. Also, make sure that you attached the Barlow lens perfectly in straight position. Thank you. Ask anytime. 👊🏻😀

[@dimplelou5558]

Thank you! It worked! But is it normal if your view is inverted? How can i fix it?

[@ShanesTech]

Hi there. Yes, inverted view is normal since the diagonal has been removed. If you want to have a corrected view, it can be fixed by attaching the 1.5x erecting eyepiece next to the Barlow lens and then followed by the 20mm eyepiece. However, the quality is terrible. I recommend to use the 1.5 erecting eyepiece instead of Barlow lens if you want to have a corrected view as the 1.5x erecting eyepiece can still act like a Barlow lens because it can increase the magnification of your current eyepiece by 1.5x instead of 3x from the Barlow. To sum up, For corrected view, remove the 3x Barlow lens and Use the 1.5x Erecting eyepiece and attach the eyepiece that you prefer. Thank you. Ask anytime. 👊🏻😀
