Astromania 1.25" 7.5mm 58-Degree Planetary Eyepiece for Telescope
Description
High end planetary eyepieces are probably amongs the most versatile eyepieces available today. Despite its many possible applications no compromises have been made in the performance. The eyepieces are perfectly suited for observing planets, the moon, deep sky objects as well as for projection photography with DSLR or compact digital cameras. Observing the Moon and the Planets ... a very high contrast and image definition, especially on the optical axis, make the HR Planetary eyepieces the ideal companion for demanding planetary and lunar observing. Due to the very good viewing comfort you can see even finer details without having to strain your eyes. Observing Deep Sky Objects: Nebulae and Galaxies ... compact Deep Sky Objects are often difficult to see because they are often very faint. The HR Planetary eyepieces are fully multicoated and offer a high image definition for a bright and clear image. This makes them ideal for observing such compact objects. HR Planetary Eyepieces - Perfect Viewing Comfort HR Planetary eyepieces were made for best possible sharpness and contrast on the optical axis, as can be expected from good planetary eyepieces. Quite different from most other planetary eyepieces however the HR eyepieces also have a very good viewing comfort, a long eye relief and a larger field of view! Read more Each HR Planetary eyepiece has an eye relief of 16 millimetres and a lens diameter (of the exit lens) of almost 20 millimetres The long eye relief can be perfectly utilized by each user by simply adjusting the extendable eyeguard. By this each observer can find the perfect observing position. That is a feature normally only found in much more expensive eyepieces! The HR Planetary eyepieces are suitable for eyeglass wearers, even the short focal length eyepieces! Read more Features of the Planetary HR Eyepieces: Excellent Image Sharpness: On-axis image sharpness is practically perfect, like a really good Orthoscopic eyepiece. Sharpness throughout the field of view remains without visible deterioration. As a result the eyepieces are considered by many to be even superior to Orthoscopics! No Kidneybeaning: Cheap eyepieces and too extreme wide angle eyepieces often suffer from "Kidney-Beaning". When you move the head only slightly a black, kidney-shaped shadow will cover a part of the field of view. This effect is nearly eliminated in the Planetary HR eyepieces. Suitable for Binocular Viewers: Planetary HR eyepieces are very well suited for binocular viewing. You will have no trouble looking through both eyepieces at the same time without getting into a conflict with your nose. The adjustable eyeguard offers a perfect observing position for critical binocular viewing. Read more Image Quality: Many tests have demonstrated that the HR Planetary eyepieces have an excellent optical performance. Compared with similar eyepieces the HR eyepieces are on the same high level of quality. The eyepieces are sourced directly from the factory as A-grade products. The HR eyepieces are the latest evolutionary step of this eyepiece design. Some other eyepieces may look similar, but they do not necessarily reach the same high performance.Lens Layout: The lens layout of the Planetary HR eyepieces was designed by Thomas Back, a renowned optician who also designed high quality apochromatic refractors! The eyepieces have a long eye relief and a large, perfectly corrected field of view. A particularly important detail: The image sharpness is excellent throughout the entire field of view.Full Broadband Multicoating: Planetary HR eyepieces have a broadband multi-coating on all glass-to-air surfaces. They have an excellent transmission and contrast. Ghost images and internal reflections are effectively suppressedEye Relief: The HR Planetary eyepieces have a long eye relief of 16mm. The eyeguard is adjustable freely for optimum viewing comfort.Barrel Size: The Planetary HR eyepieces have a 1.25" barrel with safety undercut. Each eyepiece has the standard 1.25" filter thread. Our expert comment: Typical planetary eyepieces usually obtain higher magnification with short focal length, since the moon and planets observers are always in the pursuit of details.

1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Latest version with screw-on eyeguard.
12.5mm focal length Baader Morpheus eyepiece with dual 1.25" / 2" barrel design
76-deg apparent field of view, 20mm eye relief, 11oz weight
Parfocal with other Morpheus eyepieces
Features M43 photo-video adapter thread for imaging applications (Requires optional M43/T2 adapter for attachment to T threads/rings)
Includes end caps, eyeguards, eyepiece holster, and storage box
Morpheus is the God of Dreams - and after more than four years of development Baader Planetarium presents the eyepiece of their dreams: The MORPHEUS 76° WIDE-FIELD OCULARS.
Even if a certain movie classic hints otherwise, Baader's Morpheus' are absolutely real. Featuring a true 76° field of view, they immerse you in the Universe without having to roll your eyes. The big eye relief is perfect for observing with glasses and the comfortable viewing behavior leads to a "Spacewalk-feeling" that normally is provided only by eyepieces with a much larger and inaccessible apparent field of view. Meanwhile the image in no way appears distorted like viewing through a fishbowl. Center contrast and brilliance match those of the finest planetary eyepieces; even with the fastest telescope optics you will enjoy tack sharp stars close to the outer edge of the field.
Baader has put as much effort into the workmanship as into the optical design. Phantom Coating Group, rare-earth glasses, sealed watertight housings and blackened lens edges are a given. Practical design is the prime goal: i.e. minimum metal to keep weight at bay, optimized for bino-viewing, photo- video thread, and the all-new 1.25" and 2" 'safety-kerfs' to guard against slipping (no undercut). In the night you will love the quick draw eyepiece holster and the photo-luminescent engraving.
Morpheus Highlights
Optical Features
Full Field Sharpness:
The sharp flat 76° field is unsurpassed by any other modern wide field eyepiece. On-axis sharpness and contrast rivals the best planetary eyepieces, while delivering nearly equivalent performance over the full field. Stars remain diamond pinpoints as you move away from center, and the field remains flat and in focus, even in short focus telescopes.
Long Eye Relief:
Morpheus pushes the envelope of comfortable wide field viewing further than ever before, delivering close to 20mm of eye relief along with best-in-class optical performance. Eyeglass wearers can comfortably take in the full field, and users of binoviewers will find that Morpheus make the ultimate eyepieces for viewing with two eyes.
Low Distortion:
The Morpheus optical design delivers exceedingly low distortion (angular magnification distortion). Planets and lunar features retain their shapes as they transit the field and the true field sizes are close to theoretical. Many companies exaggerate at this point and deliberately use off axis distortion magnification as a means to advertize blown "apparent" field sizes . You will be able to compare this given field size of 76° and find it to be the true value, calculated from the apparent field size and focal length.
Immersive Views:
As avid observers themselves, Baader has studied the behaviors of most commonly available wide field eyepieces and listened to other observers comments on what eyepieces give the most palpable and engaging wide field viewing experience. What they found is that the subjective 'spacewalk' feeling is not just a function of field of view. Interestingly, some wide-field eyepieces with fields of 82 degrees failed to deliver the same viewing experience as others with similar fields, or even some with smaller fields. They found two additional primary factors played into the equation - Eye Relief (and the related large eye lens size) and Ease of Viewing (a combination of long eye relief and control of pupil aberrations). Baader also found that fields much below 74 degrees tended to have a reduced effect. So, with this information in hand, they set out to design a new eyepiece with a field of view greater than 74° that met all of the other optical parameters necessary to deliver a truly "immersive" viewing experience where the eyepiece essentially disappears. The result is Morpheus.
Phantom Coating Group:
Pioneered in the Hyperion lineup, the Phantom Group Multi-coatings have been further optimized for use in the Morpheus and index-matched to each of the different glasses.
Optimized Internal Baffling:
As with all Baader Planetarium eyepieces, the internal mechanicals have been fully ray-traced and baffled to eliminate the effects of stray light.
Mechanical Features
Optimized for Binoviewing:
Every last bit of space has been squeezed out of the main body to minimize its size, giving maximum nose clearance for binoviewing.
Weight Reduction:
Every effort has been made to eliminate unnecessary weight, especially in view of effective binoviewing. The weight of all Morpheus eyepieces essentially are the lenses inside plus the best protection and water resistance Baader can supply.
Foldable Eyecups:
The Morpheus includes two soft rubber dual-position foldable eyeguards. These innovative new eyeguards have been developed to provide the optimal comfort and eye spacing for most users and eye glass wearers. The included special winged version provides the ultimate comfort and exclusion of stray light necessary for binoviewing with eyeglasses.
Safety Features:
The 1.25" and 2" barrels of each Morpheus incorporate Baader's new Slip-Protect Safety Kerfs - the ideal safety compromise between smooth barrels and wide undercuts. The numerous shallow kerfs give additional grip and security from inadvertent drops from smooth sided barrels, without the annoying problems sometimes caused by traditional wide undercuts. Wide waffle-patterned rubber grip ring gives an extra measure of handling security.
Photo-Video Adaptation:
Like their Hyperion siblings, all Morpheus eyepieces make superb imaging projection optics. Each Morpheus includes a hidden M43 photo-video eye lens thread that permits use of Baader's extensive range of Hyperion Digital T-Rings. These rings permit direct-thread attachment of practically any imaging device for the ultimate in rigidity and close-coupling for minimal vignetting.
Scope of supply (included): 76° Morpheus eyepiece with standard foldable eyecup, winged/foldable eyecup for binoviewing, storage-box, three dustcaps, cordura eyepiece holster.

4. INTERNATIONAL ORDERING / SHIPPING
Shipping Cost:
Click on the "Shipping and Payments" tab above and select your country to see your shipping choices and cost. If you need a shipping cost estimate for multiple items, please contact us.
Delivery Time:
1) USPS First Class International:
Delivery takes about 3-4 weeks after we ship your package.
This can frequently take 4-6 weeks or more for several countries (8 weeks for Italy, Argentina, and South Africa; 8-12 weeks for Brazil)
.
THERE IS NO TRACKING FOR FIRST CLASS SHIPMENTS. The information shown in your eBay account is just a customs form number - it is NOT a tracking number as incorrectly indicated by eBay.
Once your package ships, we can do nothing but wait until your package arrives. Please do not become impatient and contact us in 2-3 weeks if your package has not arrived. If you don't receive the package in 6 weeks, contact us and we will work with you to resolve the issue. If you don't want to take the risk of this delay, then DO NOT USE First Class mail - use Priority or Express shipping instead.
(2) USPS Priority Mail International:
Delivery takes 1 - 2 weeks after we ship your package. This can sometimes take 3-4 weeks to several countries. The USPS provides some basic tracking information for Priority shipping.
(3) USPS Express Mail International:
Delivery usually takes 5-10 business days after we ship your package. You will receive a tracking number with which you can track your shipment from USPS.com. Note: If you use this option, you must send us your phone number when you check-out or else your shipment will be delayed. This is required for international postal forms.
Again, these delivery times are NOT guaranteed by the US Postal Service. The most common reason for delays is slow customs inspection and clearance in your country, and can be very long, even for Express mail packages. Upon shipping your order, delivery delays are beyond our control, so do not leave us negative feedback or file a Paypal claim if your package is delayed. Delays are quite common but losses are very rare, so your patience/cooperation will be greatly appreciated.
