Review this product
  • I use the Baader Hyperion 17mm on the Sky-Watcher 200PDS, and it has become one of my essential eyepieces. It offers very comfortable viewing, a wide field of view, and a clear, bright image, without tiring the eye even during long observing sessions.

    On this particular telescope, it gives about 59× magnification, so it is excellent for open clusters, nebulae, galaxies, and also for a more complete view of the Moon. It is a very good intermediate eyepiece: it provides enough magnification to bring out details while still maintaining a fairly wide field of view.

    An important note for those who do not know it: this model is not designed to work as a standard 2" eyepiece. On the telescope, it must always be used with the 1.25" adapter.

    Its construction is solid and high quality, although it is quite heavy and may require a small telescope rebalance. I have not used it yet in connection with a camera, so my assessment refers exclusively to its performance in visual observing.

    Overall, this is an excellent and very versatile eyepiece, ideal both for personal observing and for organized astronomy nights with an audience. A very good purchase and definitely one of those that stays constantly in the equipment case.
