Alpine Astronomical Hyperion Overview

Index matched for perfect optical performance with their Hyperion 8-24mm Zoom eyepiece for improved viewing and imaging, the Alpine Astronomical Baader Hyperion Zoom 2.25x Barlow Lens effectively increases the focal length of the eyepiece through the entire zoom range to boost the magnifications without affecting the eye relief.

Built with a triplet air-spaced lens configuration and treated with Phantom Coating Group multi-coatings, the Barlow delivers a bright and flat field of view from edge to edge without astigmatism. The interior of the housing is baffled and blackened to catch stray and diffracted light for improved contrast and resolution.

The Barlow is engineered with a modular body to add versatility to how it can be utilized. When used with the companion zoom eyepiece, the Barlow simply screws onto the eyepiece's filter threads for a secure and seamless fit. An included T-mount accepts standard optional T-rings for direct connection to cameras and imaging systems for projection astrophotography. Using the same T-mount, users can install an optional 1.25" ClickLock adapter for fast eyepiece changes. It can also be used with other 1.25" eyepieces as a conventional 2.25x Barlow by screwing it into the eyepiece's filter threads.

Alpine Astronomical Hyperion Reviews

I like Baader and Alpine.

Alpine is the US distributor that B&H gets product from. My first eyepiece was a 8-24 Hyperion MK IV that I promptly dropped on concrete due to inexperience. I posted on an astronomy site and Alpine reached out to me and sent me a replacement for the bent nose piece at no charge. This Barlow is very versatile compared to the standard Barlow. You can mount a DSLR via t rings to this for planetary. Just a bit of extra flexibility. I also put their clicklock system on my scopes so I don't dump my expensive gear on the floor again.

It says "made for use with Hyperion Zoom eyepiece". How does it work with other 1.25" eyepieces? I do have a Hyperion Zoom, but want to add at least one "planetary" eyepiece to my setup. I want to seriously upgrade my ancient Celestron 2x barlow.

This Alpine Astronomical Baader Hyperion Zoom 2.25x Barlow Lens will only work with the Hyperion Zoom eyepiece.

The first guy said, it can only be used with the Zoom eyepiece. The second one said, he uses on 1.25 diagonal... confusing. Can it be used with fixed focal length eyepiece or not?
Asked by: Lewis
But the manufacturer also stated at the end of the description, "It can also be used with other 1.25" eyepieces as a conventional 2.25x Barlow by screwing it into the eyepiece's filter threads." Likewise, it will also screw into most diagonals. I've used it in both ways with great results.

How is the clarity? Using my ancient Celestron 2X barlow with my new Hyperion 8-24mm zoom really lowers the image quality. Would this barlow with the zoom set to 8mm be almost as good as a decent 3.5mm eyepiece? 8mm is fine for viewing Jupiter and Saturn, but not for photographing them with my current camera.
Asked by: David
Yes, it would be a good combination though an eyepiece delivering the magnification you want would still be the best solution.
