A few questions about Barlows.

A few questions about Barlows.

What does a 2x barlow spec mean with respect to its focal length?

In your example above, the barlow is not in contact with the EP. Once you fix the barlow is there a unique position to focus the EP?

Assume for example, I would like the fp to be 12" outside the tube and I could buy a negative lens with a fl of 12".

Would that do it?


Is there a lens program that you could recommend?

Thanks,

Stu
