This size eyepiece is excellent for looking at deep sky objects, and, with a light reduction filter, good for looking at the moon. It features baader's phantom-group multi-coatings for maximum light transmission and the ultimate in image contrast. The hyperion can be combined with a baader adaptor ring to mount a camera directly onto the eyepiece. It is supplied with a soft leather storage bag for safe keeping, and two dust caps for storing the eyepiece with either the rubber eyeguard either folded up or down.
The lens is so clear and the eye-relieve is fantastic. The performance is really good to the edge. These are FOV los and some aberration when attaching different rings, but overall it is an incredibly effective way of increasing your eyepiece variety without spending money on extra eyepieces.
