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.

The Hyperion's modular design not only offers versatility but also introduces an innovative approach to astrophotography, allowing enthusiasts to capture the cosmos with exceptional clarity.
Crafted with high-quality optical coatings, the Hyperion eyepiece boasts superior light transmission and contrast, bringing out the subtle details and vibrant colors of celestial objects.

The eyepiece's durable construction and reliable mechanics are a testament to Baader Planetarium's commitment to excellence.

The Hyperion's innovative features extend to its usability, with a design that accommodates different viewing scenarios. Despite some users' preference for an integrated eyepiece guard, the separate rubber ring does not detract from the overall quality and functionality of this eyepiece. Its robust feel and reliable performance have been praised by users, with many noting the exceptional build quality that Baader Planetarium is known for.
Whether you're exploring the moons of Jupiter or the depths of the Orion Nebula, the Baader Planetarium 10mm Hyperion Modular Eyepiece is a high-quality, durable, and versatile addition to your astronomy gear.

Baader Planetarium Hyperion Features
- Consisting of 8 elements in 5 groups, the Hyperion optical design delivers outstanding sharpness and color correction over a true 68-degree wide field, along with a comfortable 20 mm of eye-relief
- High grade water-white glasses are used throughout to deliver a crystal clear view with low scatter and excellent color fidelity, free of the yellow or bluish coloration imparted by many other eyepieces
- Baader Planetarium has gone to great lengths to give the Hyperion the most advanced multicoatings ever used on amateur telescope eyepieces (please note: these are not the same coatings other manufacturers use on their similar clones of these eyepieces)
- The proprietary Hyperion housings have been engineered by Baader to incorporate careful opto-mechanical design and execution of internal baffling to eliminate stray light and ghost reflections
- Superb fit and finish. Eyepiece barrels are accurate to size, nicely machined, and hard-anodized
- Works in both 1.25" and 2" focusers. The 1.25" barrel is threaded for filters and kept short (0.94") to work well in binoviewers and spotting scopes. Baader's new housing incorporates a full-length 2" barrel (0.94" long) and provides a specially designed tapered locking recess
- Soft folding rubber eyecups work for both normal and eyeglass users. Each Hyperion comes with protective lens caps and leatherette storage pouch
- The Baader Hyperion incorporate some unique and innovative aspects, which are designed to make them the ideal projection eyepiece
- The optical design of the Hyperion enables them to work as an extremely sharp wide-field projection eyepiece for even large chip CCD and DSLRs
- The eyelens barrel has been provided with two different external threads, M43 and M54 (these are covered by the removable rubber eyecups). A complete system of adapter rings enables cameras to be directly (and rigidly)
- The front negative lens element is designed to be removed (and exposes an M48 2" filter thread). This converts each Hyperion into a longer focal length high-quality projection eyepiece, giving the imager two choices of focal length with each eyepiece
