Unfortunately we cannot find the information online which thread is on the rear end of your telescope focuser tube. If its M72 then this adaptor will fit https://www.baader-planetarium.com/en/baader-takahashi-adapter-m72m68-(zeiss).html and transfer the thread to M68 so that our M68 ClickLock can be attached. Here you can find some more adaptors for Takahashi telescopes https://www.baader-planetarium.com/en/catalogsearch/result/?q=takahashi+adapters

F=16mm / CAO=58grados /Eye relief=17,4mm
F=12mm / CAO=63grados/ Eye relief=18.2mm
F=8mm / CAO=68grados / Eye relief=19mm
Best Regards.

The optical outlay of the Hyperion Zoom has not been changed in all these years, only the mechanics had been steadily improved and the backfocus had been reduced.

So the optical data have not changed but the eye-position will be nearer on the newest version.

11/25/2022 11:00 AM Baader Hyperion M43 rubber thread cover and eyeshield

Hello, I have question about this product:
https://www.baader-planetarium.com/en/baader-hyperion-m43-rubber-thread-cover-and-eyeshield.html

do you have any photos from bottom side? Is there any metal part like in Morpheus eyecups? Or only rubber like here:
https://www.baader-planetarium.com/en/baader-winged-rubber-eyecup-4243-(hyperion-68%C2%B0).html

Is Answered? Yes (1 answer)

Answer rated: 0

Unfortunately the Morpheus rubber/metal foldable eyecup #2454655 is our only eyecup with an actual metal thread. All other eyecups, also the one you inquired, consist of rubber only.

11/25/2022 8:54 AM UV/IR-Cut / L-Filter – CMOS-optimiert

100x100: I need to mount a much larger UV-or IR-filter onto my DSLR-lens than your regular astro 2" filters allow

Is Answered? Yes (1 answer)

Answer rated: 0

For (much) larger DSLR lens sizes up to 100 mm aperture you might consider our 100x100x3 mm square photometric SLOAN-Filters: https://www.baader-planetarium.com/en/filters/photometric-filters.html.
Especially for work in UV, the SLOAN-U filter (#2961707U https://www.baader-planetarium.com/en/filters/photometric-filters/sloansdss-u%27-filter-%E2%80%93-photometrisch.html#425=1695) is a viable alternative to our time proven U-Venus-filters (https://www.baader-planetarium.com/en/baader-u-filter-(venus-and-uv---350nm).html") - offering a very similar transmission window but up to 100 mm sq size: https://www.baader-planetarium.com/en/sloansdss-u%27-filter-%E2%80%93-photometrisch.html

There even is a clever way to hold that huge size filter in front of most any DSLR-lens by obtaining this holder and doing a minimal change that converts this holder from accepting two filters of 2 mm thickness into accepting just one filter w. 3 mm thickness - with a mere screwdriver (sorry for the german Amazon-link): https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07FL3YNHB?pd_rd_i=B08KVZ8VWT&pf_rd_p=5f9972c1-184d-4e29-822a-e867654f66c0&pf_rd_r=5T5PNXXSSA4JVTRSN3QK&pd_rd_wg=6HR08&pd_rd_w=dE1wF&pd_rd_r=e8cc1e1b-747d-4193-acdf-981d7f2e81e4&th=1
