    A ramble, and two questions about the Baader Hyperion Mk IV eyepiece.

    I manage to adapt a Hyperion Zoom Mk IV to my Kowa 613ED and it's very portable and light. Is much superior in my opinion that the Kowa eyepieces, even the new ones (Kowa TE-9Z and Kowa TE-14WD). But I had to do some changes in the scope and in the eyepiece, I also draw and printed a 3D adapter.

    Baader Hyperion Zoom in the Kowa TS 613ED

    Some 3D printers have 0,1mm precision, I think that should be enough or maybe with a bit of very thin sandpaper polish the adapter. I will try to figure out and let you know!

    I manage to fit an Baader Hyperion Zoom Mark IV in my old Kowa TS-613 ED, this very small and light scope, with great optics. My solution was to use a Dremel tool with the grinding stone and took a bit of the bayonet mounts in the spotting scope body..now there is enough space so 1.25'' can get...
