Features 5

  • Premium astronomical eyepiece from Baader Planetarium with 4.5mm 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 17.5mm 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 12.4oz (351g).

Description

Baader’s 4.5mm Morpheus eyepiece has a full 76-degree apparent field of view for an immersive astronomical viewing experience. This premium astronomy eyepiece provides a long 17.5mm 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 13oz. 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, 4.5mm 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!

Great Image Quality installed on my Kowa 883
Size: 4.5mm
I installed this lens in my Kowa 883 sporrting scope using the astro-adapter from Kowa. This gave me a magnification of about 125X. Looking at the landscape of the full Moon is breathtaking. I also used it to get a final glimpse of the recent comet. Using it on land is iffy because of atmospheric conditions, but the night sky... ... show more

Fabulous eyepiece upgrade!
Size: 4.5mm
I lost a beautiful set of Pentax and Nagler eyepieces during a move. Hopeing they would turn up, I bought a mostly complete set of Baader Plaetarium Hyperions. These are decent EPs for the money, but as stars or planets traverse the field of view I could see image distortion in my 8" f/6 reflector, making it a challenge to bring an object into sharp focus. The old EPs did not appear, so I resigned myself to re-investing in expensive glass. A glowing review n Cloudy Nights by an experienced user comparing the 17.5mm Baader Morpheus with 17.3 Televue Delos convinced me to give the Morpheus a try. On a clear night in July, I compared the 17.5mm Morpheus with the 18mm Hyperion using a 8" f/6 reflector. I also checked out an old 18mm Meade Plossl on some objects. I looked at the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, globular clusters, and the Ring Nebula. In every case, I obtained an obviously sharper image with the Morpheus, a darker background, and thus I could detect fainter objects. The globular clusters and Ring Nebula were particularly telling. Moreover, if I set an object at one edge of the FOV and let it drift to the opposite edge, it stayed mostly in focus with the Morpheus, but required constant focus fiddling with the Hyperion. Detail in views of Jupiter and Saturn was just eye-poppingly better with the Morpheus. In fact, I detected a concentric pattern in focus due to my slightly over-corrected primary with the Morpheus that wasn't obvious at all with the Hyperion. The Hyperion and Plossl performed about the same through the same field of view--very decent performance if you've never seen something better. The view through the Morpheus is so dramatically better that I suspect even a novice observer would see and appreciate the differences. Alas, I really was attached to the Hyperions. They served me long and well. Regrettably, I can't make a comparison with my old, beloved 17mm Nagler Type 4. But the Morpheus is much lighter (good news for Dobsonian telescopes), and I am confident that aside from giving up 4o in apparent FOV, I would enjoy as much or even prefer the view provided by the Morpheus. Long story short: I sent off my primary for refiguring, and am giving myself Morpheus EPs as Christmas gifts. :-) ... show more
