Baader Hyperion Mark-III Clickstop Zoom Eyepiece 8-24mm

Optical quality further enhanced by optimizing the curve geometry of inner lenses

• Internal zoom actuators and lens group centering made more rigid while allowing less play

• Thermal response of mechanical system further improved with thermally matched metal components to allow use under even harsher environmental conditions

• Greaseless movement of internal zoom lens group

• Clickstop mechanics improved with greater smoothness and almost noiseless operation

• Focal zoom positions optimized and refocusing requirements minimized

• Dust protection enhanced throughout and front (telescope side) lens-group actuator sealed

• Eyelens-group made watertight to seal eyepiece from rain during terrestrial operation

• Large eyerest rubber cover redone to make the eyerest scratchproof for eyeglasses

• Eyerest height adjustment made greaseless with step-curved click rest - as found on high quality binoculars

• Now optimized for Binoviewer use. The adjustable height eyerest assembly is now fully detachable for creating "nose space" when using two Zooms in a binoviewer. A pair of Zooms now provides the ultimate eyepiece set for binoviewing.

• M43 threading accepts popular astigmatism correctors

• Small Hyperion rubber eyecup added to fit M43 thread

• Camera adapter thread changed from SP 54 to M43 (SONY) for a variety of afocal camera adaptations

Accepts photo-adapter HTA43T2 (M42x0.75) for easy and rigid adaptation of various DSLR-T-Mount rings (sold separately)

Owners of Celestron/Synta and Zeiss spotting scopes will appreciate the direct-attachment made possible by the Hyperion Zoom's innovative removable front barrel, which exposes spotting scope attachment threads.

Like the fixed focal length Hyperions, the Hyperion MKIII Zoom eyelens barrel has been provided with an M43 attachment thread (covered by the removable eyerest assembly). To adapt the zoom to a Camera's T-ring for classical eyepiece projection, all that is needed is an HTA43T2 Adaper ring (sold separately).

Available Separately: A complete system of M54 adapter rings enables cameras to be directly (and rigidly) close-coupled to your camera's lens filter threads for Afocal Eyepiece Projection. A series of 16 threaded rings provides compatibility with just about every digital (CCD/DSLR) and videocamera made. Please Note: The Mark III Zoom now utilizes an M43 thread at the eyelens end. In order to use the Hyperion Digital T-rings, a new M43 - M54 adapter ring is required.
