About Baader Planetarium Hyperion
FEATURED REVIEWS
Baader Hyperion eyepieces are provide great bang for the buck
I am an experienced amateur astronomer and I am currently converting my primary eyepiece set over to Baader Hyperions. These eyepieces provide a clear, wide field of view that rivals more expensive brands such as Televue. The only feature I don't like it the eyepiece guard which is separate rubber ring and is not incorporated into eyepiece casing.
Nice eyepiece!
Great contrast and clarity, good color. Nice wide view with good sharpness almost to the edge.
With the Baader Planetarium HYP-8 Hyperion 68-degree Modular Eyepiece, you can experience world-class performance and innovative photo-visual features that are designed to enhance your stargazing experience. This eyepiece is not just another variant of its highly esteemed counterparts; it has been meticulously redesigned to offer superior light transmission, enhanced contrast, and a host of practical new features.
The Hyperion eyepiece is a testament to Baader Planetarium's commitment to delivering the world's finest optical coatings, exceptional mechanics, and a unique multifunctional design. It's engineered to provide exceptional sharpness and color fidelity across its expansive 68-degree wide, flat-field view, even when used with fast telescopes.
The Hyperion's superior on-axis and off-axis sharpness, coupled with its pitch-black high contrast field, ensure a viewing experience that is truly immersive. Comfort is a key feature of the Hyperion design, offering a forgiving eye-position, a generous 20 mm of eye-relief, and an extra-large eyelens. This eyepiece is also free from the common issues of 'kidney-beaning' and blackouts, making your viewing sessions more comfortable and relaxing.
Whether you're an amateur astronomer or a seasoned stargazer, the 8mm Hyperion Modular Eyepiece for 1.25" and 2" focusers is a high-quality addition to your telescope setup, designed to deliver high-end performance without the high-end price tag.
