This 3rd generation Baader Hyperion 8-24mm Click-stop Zoom is smaller (55mm wide) and lighter (290 grams) than its predecessor. This makes it an especially good choice for use with binoviewers.The click-stop mechanism has been improved – it has the usual 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 mm indentations but the mechanism is softer and more reliable in very cold conditions. It has an additional four millimetre ‘back-focus’ so is more compatible with spotting scopes that accept 1.25″ eyepieces. The longer back-focus, together with Baader’s type A adapter ring, means it is more likely to achieve focus at infinity when used with a spotting scope and, when the 1.25 “nose-piece is removed, a 1 3/8″ thread is revealed that enables the eyepiece to be screwed directly to Celestron Ultima spotters. A bayonet adapter is also available that enables the eyepiece to be used with Zeiss Diascope spotters. It also remains fully compatible with the Baader 2.25 x Hyperion Barlow .The eyepiece is supplied with 1.25 and 2″ nose-pieces that feature Baader’s patented ‘Zero Tilt Safety Kerfs’ for added peace of mind (less likely to fall out of the eyepiece holder). A yellow storage pouch is also included. FeaturesSeven element, multi-coated optics for remarkable sharpness, contrast and colour correction.Smooth zoom action with click-stops at 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24mm.Parfocal across the entire zoom range.Wide 68 degrees FOV at 8mm, 50 degrees at 24mm.12-15mm eye-relief and adjustable rubber eye-cup for comfortable viewing with or without spectacles.Includes both 1.25 and 2” barrels – threaded for filters.Rubber eyecup and bad not included, lost
