With an exceptional field of view and long eye relief, the Alpine Astronomical Baader 72° & Hyperion 36mm Aspheric Eyepiece produces relatively low magnifications on most telescopes, making it ideal for detailed lunar and planetary viewing or wide-field deep sky observations, plus astrophotography. Its 72° & field of view offers a viewing angle that is wider than the human eye, but not so wide that contrast and image brightness are compromised.
The eyepiece lens is made with a unique 6-element/4-group aspheric configuration to virtually eliminate spherical aberration, astigmatism, `kidney beaning,` and other optical distortions. Phantom Coating Group multi-coatings, blackened lens edges, and internal baffling deliver bright and high-contrast views that are free of scattered and diffracted light. It comes with two barrel sleeves that allow it to fit into 1.25` and 2` drawtubes and accessories. When using the 1.25` barrel, the field of view is reduced to 50 degrees. To limit distraction and improve brightness and contrast, a winged eyecup is included that can fold down for those who require eyeglasses during viewing. To perform all types of astrophotography, including afocal and projection, two sets of T-mount threads are provided-43mm and 54mm-that accept standard camera-specific T-rings to directly attach CCD imaging cameras or DSLRs.
