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.

Il migliore nella categoria, anche se uno zoom è sempre un compromesso, ma per me è troppo divertente da usare anche se l'oculare a focale fissa è sempre migliore.

Je suis très content de mon achat !J'ai regardé bcp de comparatifs, et cet article a de bonnes critiques.Je l'ai comparé avec des occulaires d'un ami qui sont à plusieurs centaines d'euros pièce, et le miens était meilleur, j'avais plus de détails sur la lune.

Must have for all astronomers and astrophotographers. So nice to use 1 lens for mount calibration. I use the 24mm to set the rough star alignment, and then zoom to 9mm for the precise alignment. Makes my mount alignments so much faster and easier! Has alot of eye relief, and is adjustable. Great with glasses. Has adapters to shoot a DSLR through the lens. Is both a 2" and a 1.25" eyepiece.My only gripe is image quality is not as sharp as an individual eyepiece, obviously right. Well it's noticeable. Feels like it rounds the corners alot, not a flat field. But still way better than cheaper Celestron type zoomers...

Acheté pour sa bonne presse et sa polyvalence et pour un dobson à f5. Ce qu'on en lit s'avère vrai : un bonne image, une bonne rotation du système de zoom et des cliquets très fin. Le zoom est quasi par-focal, pas besoin de refaire la mise au point (ou très peu). Ideal pour scanner le ciel et zoomer à la demande un zone qui nous interesse, avec un minimum d'abérations (le qualité du ciel ne m'a pas permis d'en constater). Sur la lune on trouve un très léger liseré coloré sur la bordure mais un image impeccable et assez neutre. Je n'ai pas pu bien tester l'ensemble avec la barlow par contre.Le seul point négatif est le placement d'oeil qui pour moi est inconfortable vu le grand relief d'oeil que le zoom propose, et malgré les différentes bonnettes : je n'ai jamais pu trouver une position reposante. L'état de fatigue joue aussi là-dessus, je ne crois pas que ce soit le zoom mais j'ai préféré le renvoi par sécurité.Pour ceux qui s’accommoderait du placement d'oeil (porteur de lunette, amateur de grand relief d'oeil, ...) cela reste un très bonne option en polyvalence et netteté d'image avec un bonne correction optique (et parafocal !).

I've now spent quite a lot of time using this EP under clear, dark, somewhat steady skies, mostly with a 8" f/6 Newtonian with absolutely stunning optics. I've worked through quite a few EPs made by several vendors (Baader Planetarium, Explore Scientific, Pentax, Tele Vue) at focal lengths within the range of this EP.My opinion: for anybody who wants to haul their 6-8" Dobsonian telescope out on an unexpected free and clear night, this is a match made in Heaven. In fact, if that were the only telescope I owned, I would buy a 30-ish mm EP and this.I struggle to improve on this EP, despite many efforts to do so. As regards my 8" Newtonian and 8" SCT, this EP has gone toe to toe with single focal length EPs from Baader Planetarium, Tele Vue and Pentax. There are complicated and sometimes borderline reasons to prefer one over another. Basically, an insurmountable limitation of this zoom is apparent field of view vs a premium wide angle EP at long focal lengths. This is not a heart-breaker for 17.5mm Morpheus vs ~ 18mm Hyperion zoom, but I could see the difference. At the longest focal lengths it was obvious vs every comparable EP I have.So if I owned none, but had $500 to blow on EPs, I'd buy this for sure. If I had SCT, then I'd get a decent 17-20mm fixed focal length EP. If I had a wide aperture, short focal ratio reflector, then I might get a longer focal length, wide FOV EP, and maybe something like a Tele Vue 3-6mm zoom.But for a "one to rule them all" eyepiece for a generic telescope1, I'd get this and never give it another thought. I own gorgeous EPs, and still have to have a very good reason to replace it at the focuser to do so. There are a lot of things to see. ;-)

Oculaire zoom hyperion avec barlow.Difficile de donner un avis sur cet oculaire.En effet, je n'ai pas réussi à faire la mise au point sur mon télescope alors que j'y arrive sans problème avec mes autres oculaires....Peut être ai je reçu un exemplaire défectueux ?

I wanted a nice zoom eyepiece to complement my Celestron 6SE and the Baader MkIV Hyperion Zoom (and 2.2X Barlow) fits my expectation nicely. Initial daytime tests proved the excellent contrast and resolution throughout the ENTIRE 8-24mm range and the Baader Hyperion Barlow 2.25X is an excellent quality piece that doesn't degrade the image. Nightime views are great and eye relief is fine. In side-by-side comparisons this Baader Zoom compares very favorably to my Meade 4000 Series (Japan) Plossl's and gives quality views quite similar to my Televue 7mm DeLite eyepiece. Overall, VERY SATISFIED with the Baader quality of the fine optical zoom eyepiece!
