Baader Hyperion Mark-III Clickstop Zoom Eyepiece 8-24mm # HYP-ZOOM 2454824
Best of the 8-24mm Zooms
I purchased this as a zoom to locate guide stars, determine best magnification, etc. However, it can easily replace several eyepieces in one's collection and not give up much at all in terms of quality. Other the the narrow field of view at the low p...

Baader Hyperion Mark-III Clickstop Zoom Eyepiece 8-24mm # HYP-ZOOM 2454824
High Quality Plus Easy to Use!
This versatile eyepiece (fits both 1.25" and 2" focusers plus cameras with adapters) has replaced three of my fixed focal length eyepieces. Almost all of the field of view is sharp even in a fast f/4.7 reflector. It's great not having to change eye...

Great, versatile eyepiece
I'm a novice astronomer and purchased this eyepiece and found it to be a wonderful investment. I was hesitant about getting a "zoom" as they are normally never quite as sharp as "prime" eye piece, but I've had great views all the way from 8 to 24mm...

Should have started here!
This eyepiece is all it's cracked up to be. If I could start over my collection of eyepieces would start with this one. I recomend this eyepiece to use regularly and help to determine what eyepieces you may want to add to your collection.

Most-used eyepiece
This is my most frequently used eyepiece. The high quality, sharp images, and convenience win out. Zoom motion is smooth, continuously variable, and stable. Definitely consider this in lieu of a handful of Plossls. Image quality is very good, exce...

Celestron 1.25" Zoom Eyepiece 8-24mm # 93230
Zoom, zoom, zoom...!
I bought this to replace broken zoom eyepiece I got from Apogee at an excellent price some years ago. That eyepiece was lighter and smaller than the Celestron and I rate overall superior to the Celestron. However, this eyepiece fits the bill nicely.

Great versatility and value
I own the Baader Hypreion zoom which I dearly love. But I wanted something lighter/cheaper for my smaller telescopes and travels. I picked up this eyepiece and couldn't be happier. It would be very unfair to compare this eyepiece to the Baader and W...

I bought two of these to use in my Orion Binoviewer. They are hard to get just the right amount of focus unless you use one eye at a time, but does focus the best it can though it seems to never get a sharp focus no matter what scope I use it in. The...

Meade Series 4000 1.25" Zoom Eyepiece 8-24mm # 07199-2
Good Quality
I'd never owned a zoom eyepiece before thinking the quality would be inferior to most single focal length eyepieces. The Meade 4000 series 1.25" zoom eyepiece proved me wrong, and shows clarity of detail at 8mm that surpasses what is seen in my ortho...

Great performance
I bought this for two purposes. The first is for visual use in my spotting scope. The other is for Digiscoping through the spotting scope. This eyepiece works great for both purposes. About 8 years ago I bought a Vixen Non Click Stop 8-24mm Zoom for ...

Great Eyepiece
Great eyepiece I use it with all my scopes. I don't have to take out all my other eyepieces. I just use this one it works great in my 8'' intelliscope reflector for aligning guide stars. I don't have to keep switching out eyepieces. I love it!

I love this eyepiece
The Baader Hyperion Zoom works great on my nexstar 8se. Since purchasing this zoom I hardly ever remove it from my scope for another lense. Great views and very comfortable eye relief.

Very Nice Eyepiece.
I got interested in this product after using (and loving) Hyp 17mm. The promise of infinite increment within a range of Fls was enticing. The eyepiece does not disappoint. The zoom, like the rest of hyperion line, is of high quality. Construction ...

Best zoom I've used
I got this EP for use at public astronomy events, where time is often at a premium. I can find a target, zoom to the best magnification, and have folks viewing much faster than trying to swap EPs all the time. I'm also glad to leave my personal perso...

A do-it-all eyepiece!
I recently sold a Vixen zoom of similar range simply because I just didn't care for it in any scope I tried it in. This eyepiece works wonderfully in everything I try it in- from my Lunt 60mm Ha scope- to refractors and reflectors. The feel is like t...

Just a fantastic eyepiece! I thought that zooms can't be as good as fixed eyepieces but I was wrong. This one here does a great job on everything! I compared the 20mm setting to a TV 20mm plossl and I received the same result. I compared my fixed ...
