Baader 8-24mm Mk IV Hyperion Zoom Eyepiece - Boxed
In nice used condition!
Includes 1.25" nosepiece as well as the 2"
his 4th generation Baader Hyperion 8-24mm Click-stop Zoom is smaller (55mm wide) and lighter (290 grams) than its predecessor (the Mk-III model was 80 grams heavier). This makes it an especially good choice for use with binoviewers.
The click-stop mechanism has been improved - it has the usual 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 mm indentations but the mechanism is softer and more reliable in very cold conditions.
It has an additional four millimeter 'back-focus' so is more compatible with spotting scopes that accept 1.25" eyepieces. The longer back-focus, together with Baader's type A adapter ring, means it is more likely to achieve focus at infinity when used with a spotting scope and, when the 1.25 "nose-piece is removed, a 1 3/8" thread is revealed that enables the eyepiece to be screwed directly to Celestron Ultima spotters. A bayonet adapter is also available that enables the eyepiece to be used with Zeiss Diascope spotters.
The optical quality and specification is unchanged - it has the same wide 68 degrees FOV at 8mm and 50 degrees at 24mm and features Baader's 'Phantom Group' multi-coating on all air-to-glass surfaces.
It also remains fully compatible with the Baader 2.25 x Hyperion Barlow (sold separately).
As with previous Baader Hyperion Zoom eyepieces, the Mark IV model features a M43 thread for easy connection to a DSLR or T2 accessory via an optional M43 / T2 adapter.
The eyepiece is supplied with 1.25 and 2" nose-pieces that feature Baader's patented 'Zero Tilt Safety Kerfs' for added peace of mind (less likely to fall out of the eyepiece holder). A yellow storage pouch is also included.
