i want to upgrade a 2x barlow and think that i've found just the one.

my telescope is an 8" Celestron dobsonian reflector f/6

i have caught sight on the Celestron Ultima Barlow Lens (2x - 1.25"). the Ultima Series Barlow (2x - 1-1/4") is an air-spaced, 3-element apochromatic design with a 27mm clear aperture.

Here comes my question:
Do apochromatic barlows work better on refractors or are they just as good for slow reflectors like my telescope? I have a normal barlow and it works OK. not exceptional viewing just OK. would an apo barlow be better?

Another question I'm wondering about. What does "27mm clear aperture" mean in the barlow product description?

I need a quote that can be used as a "come back". A good example would be something like...the best part of you ran down your mom's a** crack and ended up a sh** stain on your mom's mattress from Full Metal Jacket. Help me out! Thank you!!

I have been on a diet for a week now. I have been doing low carb, but still eating fruit. I have cut out all the fast food and sodas. I am also exercising. Think this will work? Any more ideas? Thanks.

6 years under Bush's watch.

Bet you anything wounded Iraq contractors got A+ care on the tax payer's dime.

Republican war-mongering, "support the troops, until they get mutilated/injured", dirtbags make me want to vomit.

How come no one in Bush's administration or the pentagon kept an eye on things all these years? (no good "photo ops" at a hospital I guess). LOL.....Bush could have worn a surgeon's suit instead of a flight suit this time......lol

It was their needless war that put them there in the hospital in the first place!

I need a list of some water-soluble emulsifiers.

The only thing is that they CANNOT be Polysorbates.

Thanks.

The celebrities sure seem to think its great, but they'll do pretty much anything if you throw some money at em. Has anyone ever really tried it, or know someone who has?

I was just wondering, Does herpes 1 feel the same as herpes 2? I have had one on my lip before and it hurt so bad i hated to even move it.
Story behinde it. I had sex with my boyfriend and we always use condoms now and after we had sex for an hour i started to hurt and get sore and then i got swollen. i first thought maybe because of the condoms. The lubricated ones always irritate me inside so i wanted to use the non-lubricated ones but i think they both bother me inside*but doesnt mean i am going to stop using them* as well. So a few hours later i thought that maybe he had tore part of it. So being the weekend i called my doctor and had an appointment today. Which she looked at it and she said it looked like it had been strecth bad but it didnt rip. she said my skin was really irritated and that some skin looked raw like skin was coming off. She tested me for herpes. I mean that freaked me out. I mean it doesnt hurt that bad if it was like it was on my lip. help please.thanks.

I attended a university for four years but did not earn a degree. I majored in electrical engineering but I was a mediocre student. I missed graduation by .1 of a gpa point. I'm completely lost in my career path now and Im not sure what to do with my past education. Its pretty hard to show my face back at the university now. Also im not very sure if EE would be a career path im willing to take.
