- Premium astronomical eyepiece from Baader Planetarium with 9mm focal length and 76-degree apparent field of view provides a wide, immersive spacewalk experience when viewing stars, galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters. Also gives excellent views of the Moon, planets, and other solar system objects. (See Important Note in the Product Description below to make sure this eyepiece is a good choice for your telescope).
- Long 21mm eye relief for a comfortable viewing experience, even when wearing eyeglasses. Fits 1.25 and 2 telescope focusers without the need for separate adapters (does not fit telescopes with 0.965 focusers). Excellent build quality and sealed watertight housing ensures years of trouble-free field use with your telescope.
- Multi-coated lenses and internal baffling ensure minimal light scatter and high image contrast. Minimal aberrations and distortion for excellent views of stars and extended deep-sky objects over the full field of view.
- Size and weight are optimized for use with astronomy binoviewers to allow observing with both eyes (optional binoviewers, sold separately, require two eyepieces of the same type and focal length). Eyepiece weight is 11.5oz (326g).
- Includes removable eye guards to keep stray light out of your eyes while observing. Rubber grip for easy and secure handling, even while wearing gloves. Threaded for standard astronomy filters (not included). Also features M43 photo-video adapter thread for imaging applications (requires Baader M43-T2 adapter or Baader Hyperion Digital T-rings, both sold separately).
Baader’s 9mm Morpheus eyepiece has a full 76-degree apparent field of view for
an immersive astronomical viewing experience. This premium astronomy eyepiece
provides a long 21mm eye relief to allow a comfortable viewing position, even
for observers who wear eyeglasses. The careful and sophisticated optical
design of this eyepiece, which includes 8 lenses in 5 groups, enables superb
visual images of stars, galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, and other
astronomical objects with minimal distortion right to the edge of the field of
view. This compact and lightweight eyepiece weighs only 12.7oz. These
eyepieces are designed for years of trouble-free field use and feature a
weather-sealed housing to keep dust and moisture out. When used in a matched
pair, Morpheus eyepieces work well in astronomy binoviewers (not included) for
a comfortable two-eyed viewing experience. The eyepiece also features a M43
adapter thread to enable astronomical imaging through the eyepiece itself
(requires Baader M43-T2 adapter or Baader Hyperion Digital T-rings, both sold
separately). Important note: Depending on your telescope, this eyepiece may
provide a magnification that is too high to provide a sufficiently sharp and
bright image, especially when used in some binoviewing systems. As a rule of
thumb, with a very good telescope, the maximum magnification you will be able
to use is about 30-50x per inch of telescope aperture depending on the sky
conditions. For example, if you have a telescope with 6” (150mm) aperture,
then the maximum magnification is 180x to 300x. To calculate the magnification
of your telescope with an eyepiece, take the focal length of your telescope
and divide it by the focal length of the eyepiece. If you choose an eyepiece
that gives a magnification that is too high, you may be disappointed by the
view, but it is not the fault of the eyepiece!
