The Noblex Asto UWA 12.5 mm combines a wide apparent field of view with comfortable viewing and can be expanded into a versatile observation set with the APM TMB Design 1.8× ED Barlow lens. This bundle is particularly appealing to amateur astronomers who wish to observe both smaller celestial objects, such as planetary nebulae, and the Moon and planets.
The Noblex Asto UWA 12.5 mm is designed for a large apparent field of view and excellent image quality. A wide field of view makes it easier to locate and track objects and provides a particularly impressive view of star clusters, the Moon, and extensive deep-sky objects. The actual image quality also depends on the telescope’s optics and observing conditions.
The APM TMB Design 1.8× ED Barlow lens expands the eyepiece’s range of applications. Its 1.8x magnification effectively reduces the 12.5 mm focal length to an effective eyepiece focal length of approximately 6.9 mm. This combination is therefore particularly well-suited for high-magnification lunar and planetary observations, as well as for globular clusters and compact planetary nebulae.
The bundle thus offers two magnification levels without requiring a second eyepiece. Whether this combination is worthwhile depends primarily on the telescope used: With sufficient aperture, good alignment, and a stable atmosphere, the higher magnification can reveal additional details.
