Questions & Answers

RADLEY K : I want to place an order for this, but the picture is not of the Mark IV and the SKU is for the Mark III.  Is this in fact the Mark IV now and not the Mark III?
WALTER G. DA C : According to Baader website, the "Bundle: Hyperion Universal Zoom Mark IV with Hyperion-Barlow 2.25x (8-24mm / 3.6-10.7mm)" SKU is # 2454827.  Here is says the SKU is 2454825.  Are these the same product?  Is this for Mark III instead?  Please clarify.ANDREW R : SKU numbers are assigned by the retailer and will often differ from the manufacturer or part number. In this case, MFR# HYP-ZMBAR is consistent with the Mk IV Hyperion Zoom and 2.25x Barlow kit.
James M : Could you confirm if this item is in fact the Mark III (manufacturer has discontinued it) or if the Mark IV (newer model) will ship. When will the Mark IV be available? Thank you.ANDREW R : This is the Mark III model as stated. We do not currently offer the Mark IV.

Excellent alternative to a collection of quality eyepieces!

Excellent alternative to a collection of quality eyepieces. Had previously purchased a full set of eyepieces from another vendor and subsequently returned those in favor of this zoom. So happy with the quality, field of view, and ease of use. Makes it a joy to star hop at low magnification on a Dobsonian then quickly zoom in without having to re-focus. Very happy with the purchase and definitely recommend it!

Bring the cosmos into sharp, vibrant focus with the MARK IV Hyperion Zoom and 2.25x Barlow Eyepiece. Designed by Baader Planetarium, a leader in astronomical optics, this eyepiece set is engineered to elevate your stargazing experience. The Hyperion Zoom features an impressive 8-24mm focal length range, allowing for seamless transitions between wide-field observations and detailed close-ups of celestial bodies.

Crafted with the utmost precision, the Hyperion Zoom benefits from the Hyperion Phantom Group multi-coatings, which are among the most advanced coatings available for an astronomical eyepiece. These multi-layered coatings are meticulously applied to enhance light transmission, resulting in exceptionally sharp images and superb color correction. The eyepiece's generous 68-degree field of view immerses you in the night sky, offering a panoramic vista that is both breathtaking and crystal clear.

The optical prowess of the Hyperion Zoom is further demonstrated by its 7-element lens configuration, which rivals the clarity and performance of the best fixed focal length eyepieces in the market. This sophisticated design ensures that each celestial observation is rendered with precision and minimal distortion, making the Hyperion Zoom a versatile and indispensable tool for amateur astronomers and seasoned stargazers alike.

When paired with the included Baader 2.25x Barlow lens, the Hyperion Zoom is transformed into a powerful 4-12mm Zoom eyepiece. This combination effectively doubles the magnification without sacrificing image quality, offering an even closer look at the intricate details of distant galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters.

Please note that this Zoom and Barlow lens set is specifically tailored for astronomical use. It is not compatible with spotting scopes and will not achieve focus when used in such applications. Whether you're exploring the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn, the MARK IV Hyperion Zoom and 2.25x Barlow Eyepiece will bring the wonders of the universe to your telescope with unparalleled clarity and performance.
