Hi Malcolm,
How do you find the Baader Hyperions? I am attracted to these because of the ease you can connect a DSLR and they are well priced ($USD120). I thought basic astro-photography would be the next stage in this hobby (And having good quality, easy to use eyepieces that all the family can enjoy will help justify my future astro purchases!).
How easy are the Baaders on the eyes? Does the eyecup and long eyerelief work easily for those with or without glasses?
I don't wear glasses so strickly speaking I don't need the 20mm eye relief, however the 15mm FL bintel eyepiece I have has 12mm eye relief and I keep bumping my eye and eyelashes into the glass. The 10 mm Super Plossl Skywatcher long eye relief (20mm) that came with the scope is very easy to use, but the views are foggy compare to the bintel.
Do you use the 2" fitting or 1.25" fitting? How do you find the weight of these eyepieces? Are they all parfocal?
If I go down the Baader route, I am thinking of getting the 5mm for planets and good seeing, 13mm for most other objects, and the 21mm for the moon and finding nebulae.
Thanks for your thoughts.
James
