2454824
Complete with box, pouch, caps.
The Baader Mark III Hyperion Zoom 8-24mm (Manufacturer Part Number: 2454824) is a highly versatile, premium astronomical eyepiece that provides the equivalent of five separate fixed-focal-length eyepieces in one body. It eliminates the need to constantly
The Baader Mark III Hyperion Zoom 8-24mm eyepiece features an excellent modular mechanical design, making it highly compatible with standard telescopes, select spotting scopes, astronomical cameras, and specialized optical accessories.
Telescope Compatibility
1.25″ and 2″ Focusers: The eyepiece includes interchangeable dual barrels. It works natively with any standard 1.25″ or 2″ telescope focuser or star diagonal across refractors, Schmidt-Cassegrains (SCTs), Maksutovs, and Newtonians/Dobsonians.Filter Threading: Both nosepieces are threaded internally to accept standard astronomy filters (1.25″ and 2″ respectively).
Camera & Astrophotography Compatibility (M43 Thread)
Direct Eyepiece Projection: By removing the adjustable rubber eyecup on the top lens, a male M43 photo-video thread is revealed. DSLR and Mirrorless Cameras: Using the Baader M43 to T-2 Adapter (#2958080), you can adapt the eyepiece to a standard male T-2 thread (M42 × 0.75). From there, you can connect a standard camera-specific T-ring to attach your DSLR or mirrorless body for rigid, secure projection astrophotography.
Spotting Scope Compatibility
The telescope-side of the main body (with nosepieces removed) reveals internal threads allowing direct attachment to terrestrial spotting scopes:Zeiss Thread (M45): Connects to premium spotting scopes like the Zeiss Diascope.Celestron/Synta Thread (M36.4 or 1 3/8″): Attaches directly to Celestron Ultima spotting scope bodies.Note on Back-Focus: Because the Mark III has a slightly shorter back-focus configuration than the newer Mark IV, some 1.25″ straight-through spotting scopes may struggle to reach focus at infinity without specific extension adapters.
