Baader Planetarium 8-24/3.6-10.7 mm Hyperion Universal Zoom Mark IV with Barlow 2.25x - Black

I bought this to upgrade my Celestron Ultima 80 scope. Read about the Mark III which had mainly positive reviews. The Mark IV greatly improves the Celestron scope over the original eyepiece. The images are clearer by far. I use it mainly for birdwatching and it has enhanced my experience. Colours are much crisper. More detail can be picked out at both lower and higher magnifications. I would say this eyepiece has transformed the Celestron scope into one which I doubt I would have to upgrade unless I was going to go for one of the high end scopes at £1500 plus. It makes the Celestron better than other mid price scopes I have used. Fit is easily achieved and adapters come with the eyepiece. Well worth the money. One tip...find the English language descriptive manual online before you order as only the German version came with my order.

Solid piece of kit using it on my celestron 8se fantastic views :)

Oculare ben costruito e dalle prestazioni eccellenti. L'ho acquistato per sostituire lo zoom originale di un cannocchiale per osservazioni naturalistiche Celestron Regal M2 80HD che era assolutamente scarso. Bene, il cannocchiale (che possiede un'obiettivo di ottima qualità) è letteralmente rinato. Immagini nitide, senza riflessi e aberrazioni fino agli ingrandimenti più alti. La dimostrazione che tutti gli elementi del cammino ottico devono possedere la stessa qualità per ottenere immagini perfette. Assolutamente da consigliare, anche per utilizzi con telescopi astronomici!

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!

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.

greatest zoom eyepiece have ever brought. The weight of this eyepiece is not bad compared to some two inch eyepieces. I also like the number of accessories for the price that is a little high until you look through it. Zooming from 24mm to 8mm is where this product separates because going to a higher power on most lessens your eye relief but not this one. Turning magnification is smooth and you can feel when you get to the next power. Easey to use than having multiple eyepieces.
