Baader Hyperion 8-24mm Click Stop Zoom

Hi Guys,

I have for sale this fantastic eyepiece from Hyperion. The eyepiece hasn't been used overly, as I bought it primarily to test whether it would work in my Oberwerk BT45-100s. It sort of worked, but wasn't all that comfortable to use, so I decided to just stick with fixed eyepieces for the BT.


Here's what the sales blurb says for this EP. Additionally, it comes with excellent reviews across a range of forums (fora!) such as Cloudy Nights.

This Baader Hyperion 8-24mm Zoom Mark III Eyepiece has click-stops at 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24mm and remains parfocal across the zoom range.

Perfect for binoviewiers with barrel diameters of 57mm.

The Baader Hyperion 8-24mm Zoom Mark III Eyepiece field of view ranges from 50º to 68º.with eye relief between 12-15mm.

Advanced multi-coatings are among the best in the world!

The Baader Hyperion 8-24mm Zoom Mark III Eyepiece now includes both 1.25" and 2" Barrels with included adapter ring that has standard 2"x24tpi SCT threads.

The new Baader Hyperion 8-24mm Clickstop Zoom continues the Hyperion tradition of delivering top-of-class performance and quality at very reasonable prices. Zoom eyepieces have earned a lackluster reputation over the years, due to their compromises in optical design and execution. We think the Baader Hyperion zoom will surprise many jaded zoom users with its combination of performance, quality, and novel features. The Baader Hyperion Zoom eyepiece now includes both 1.25" and 2" barrels! The 2" barrel attaches through an included adapter ring that has standard 2"x24tpi SCT threads.


Anyway, no reason why my loss can't be your gain. One of these sold (or at least was advertised) recently on IIS for $250. This one is in totally as new condition, and can be yours for just $225 which includes careful packaging and registered, insured post to anywhere in Australia.
