[PMT-5126]

This model stands less than 3" out of your focuser and the 5x take 1¼" threaded filters. It is parfocal in ALL 1¼" diagonals and prisms. For this reason, it is highly recommended over standard Barlows for 1¼" diagonals and refractors such as the Tele Vue-60.

The 5x Powermate™ is ideal for long focus CCD and film photography, magnifying about 7.7x. It’s an attractive, high performance alternative to eyepiece projection. The 5x is also perfect for slowing down your scope for Hydrogen-Alpha solar observing.

Note for Dobsonian/Newtonian Owners: When using Tele Vue’s Paracorr coma corrector, the 2.5x or 5x Powermate™ should be inserted into the Paracorr’s 1-1/4” adapter (i.e., between the Paracorr and the eyepiece).
