Baader Hyperion Eyepieces



Baader Hyperion eyepieces are extraordinarily good value for the money, providing capabilities that frequently costs 2 or 3 times as much.

These modular eyepieces with their wide field of view, razor-sharp images and flexibility they are difficult to match in almost any other range of eyepieces.

No longer do amateurs need to spend more on their eyepieces than their primary instrument in order to get true high-end performance in a wide-field eyepiece.

They perform well for normal visual use, and they brandish the astrophotographer with an extensive range of options for attaching cameras and telescopes.

Sizes available: 3.5mm ,5mm, 8mm ,13mm, 17mm, 21mm and 24mm

As a visual eyepiece Hyperions deliver exceptional sharpness and color fidelity across their 68° wide, flat-field, even in fast telescopes. Viewing through a Hyperion is remarkably comfortable and relaxing, due to their forgiving eye-position, 20mm of eye-relief, and an optical design that is free of the annoying kidney bean effect.

Baader Hyperion Eyepieces

Each and every eyepiece utilizes Baader's Phantom Multi-Coatings to minimise light loss and provide the brightest images. They are presented in a soft protective pouch with caps for use with the eyecups turned up or down. And they have interchangeable barrels for use with 1.25-inch or 2-inch focusers.

Consisting of 8 elements in 5 groups, the Hyperion optical design delivers outstanding sharpness and color correction over a true 68° wide field, along with a comfortable 20mm 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. Use of high-index glasses delivers low distortion and astigmatism, even on scopes as fast as f/4.

FineTuning Rings

An interesting addition for the Hyperion is the Baader Fine Tuning Ring which will turn a single eyepiece into four.
