Folks,
Here we have another treasure from Dunk's Grotto...
The Baader Hyperion Aspheric 36mm is a very wide FOV eyepiece being of long focal length and 72 degree apparent FOV. There is no field stop - well, just the 2" barrel!
IMO it is at its best in a slow scope - I use a SCT and it is very effective, may not be ideal for a fast Dob without a coma corrector.
This shiny example is in very good condition with the exception of a couple of the letters on the barrel which have disintegrated (a common problem apparently). It comes with with the 2"->1.25" adapter, although it'd severely blunt its field of view.
These are at least $350 new in Australia, I'm looking for $220 + post. Contact by PM please.
Cheers,
Dunk
