Baader Hyperion eyepieces - make more of your tele.
Most teles come with one or two simple eyepieces in the set,
which do not excite the performance of the optics. Moderate
contrast and sharpness, small field of view and poor in
behaviour quickly spoil the fun of sky observation. With Hyperion
eyepieces, on the other hand, you can get everything out of your
tele.
The complete range of high quality Hyperion eyepieces contains
all major focal lengths and offers a wealth of combination
possibilities. With matching accessories, you will experience
unforgettable hours observing a wide range of celestial bodies.
The special thing about Hyperion eyepieces: they are suitable for
photos! Capture your astro impressions forever by connecting
cameras and camcorders to the Hyperion eyepieces!
You can distinguish between the series with "fixed focal lengths"
f = 3.5 mm, 5 mm, 8 mm, 13 mm, 17 mm, 21 mm, 24 mm, the two large
aspherical eyepieces 31 mm and 36 mm as well as the Hyperion Zoom
eyepiece with infinitely variable focal length from 8 to 24 mm.
An accessory case is in preparation for the seven Hyperion fixed
focal length eyepieces
The "fixed focal lengths" series of Hyperion eyepieces
The word fixed focal length is in quotation marks in this short
description, because you as a user are able to change the focal
length due to the modular design of the eyepieces. The fixed
focal lengths Hyperion eyepieces are multifunctional eyepieces.
WIDE APPLICATIONS:
Connecting cameras and camcorders
The Hyperion eyepieces have two system threads at the top
("eye-side"). To expose them, either the eyecup and/or the large
silicone thread protection ring must be removed. On the one hand,
it is an M43 male thread and still a second with SP54 male
thread.
The M43 thread (system thread 1) is used to connect T2
accessories, e.g. for normal eyepiece projection. For this
purpose, a transition ring (Hyperion M43/T-2) from M34 to T2
thread must be switched between them.
For connecting digital cameras or camcorders where the lens
cannot be removed (so-called afocal projection), the SP 54 thread
(system thread 2) is used.
Focal length variability and filter insert
The Hyperion eyepieces can be opened on the M48 (filter) thread
at the top of the chrome-plated 1¼" eyepiece receptacle. In the
plug-in sleeve is the first lens group, it is unscrewed together
with the plug-in sleeve and the eyepiece is connected directly to
the tele in a 2 inch eyepiece clamp, you get an overview
eyepiece with long focal length and maximum field of view.
By inserting a 2" filter between 2" and 1¼" plug-in sleeve the
site effect results: the focal length becomes shorter and
thus the magnification higher. Furthermore, astronomical 1¼ inch
eyepiece filters can be screwed into the 1¼ inch socket of the
eyepiece. For further focal length modification, there are our
finetuning rings (FTR) with 14 and 28 mm length. The different
possible focal lengths when removing the first lens group as well
as in combination with filters and fine tuning rings can be found
in the table above.
Stop ring (model no. 2958097) Another "smart" accessory for our
Hyperion eyepieces is the stop ring. It allows you to set the
insertion depth of the eyepieces so that each eyepiece
immediately gives a sharp image when inserted into a 2" diagonal
mirror.
Due to the fullness of functionality, the Baader Hyperion
eyepieces have their own 6-sided instruction manual to explain
the variety of connection options of cameras and all the
possibilities of focal length finetuning.
Hyperion fixed focal length eyepieces on Zeiss Dia spotting
.
The Hyperion fixed focal length eyepieces can also be used on
Zeiss Dia spotting s. For this you need the BAADER
Dia eyepiece bayonet 1¼" adapter (model no. 2454500) for
connecting 1¼" astro eyepieces to the Zeiss Dia spotting
s. It is pushed over the 1¼ inch receptacle of the Hyperion
eyepiece and fixed to the plug-in sleeve by means of 3 small
clamping screws. On the dia spotting , the Zeiss
bayonet connection is ready, so that the complete unit Hyperion
eyepiece and Baader bayonet adapter are inserted directly into
the Zeiss spotting
- Huge 68 degree wide angle field of view, adjusted to the maximum viewing angle of the human eye.
- Phantom Group coating in Zeiss class for complete reflex freedom and maximum image contrast.
- Modular design of the eyepiece body allows ocular focal length change with optional finetuning rings.
- Suitable for cameras. Almost all DSLR camera bodies but also easier cameras with fixed lens can be connected directly to the Hyperion eyepieces.
- Box contents: 24 mm Hyperion eyepiece with integrated 2 inch and 1.25 inch receptacle, soft leather bag, dust cover.
