Vernonscope Dakin Barlows

2 inch, 2.4X Dakin Barlow

New Design, Same Excellent Glass!


The 2" Dakin Barlow shown with the top of the 2.4X Barlow removed and the bottom screwed directly into a Brandon 48mm eyepiece, resulting in an approximately 32mm EFL.


The 2" 2.4x Dakin Barlow assembled for use with a 2" eyepiece.

The 2" Dakin Barlow shown with the top of the 2.4X Barlow unscrewed from the bottom.  The Barlow glass is in the bottom portion,.

This 2" Vernonscope 2.4X Dakin Barlow may be used with telescopes that accept 2 inch eyepieces. This Barlow is made with very high quality glass lens that gives sharp contrast. It holds a 2 inch eyepiece or 2" to 1.25" adapter with a brass compression ring, a screw insert, and a stainless steel set screw.


It also can be unscrewed at the center, and the bottom portion containing the Dakin Barlow lens screwed onto a standard 2 inch eyepiece, as shown with the Vernonscope 2 inch 48mm Brandon. When the bottom half is screwed directly into an eyepiece, the magnification is approximately 1.5X.


The Barlow was designed to be placed between the draw tube of a scope and a diagonal. In-travel will need to be longer when separated and screwed into an eyepiece.


This 2 inch 2.4X Dakin Barlow costs $289. (48mm Brandon eyepiece not included)

This Dakin Barlow is also excellent when used with the Vernonscope Master Birder spotting scope.  See the BirdScope page for details.
