Baader Hyperion 21mm and FP-80ED (1 Viewer)

Hi JG:
just received my 65EDII yesterday, and my hype 21mm would NOT come to infinity focus, but i'd guess is good out to 300 yards or so. might work for close-in to moderate-out viewing.
the stratus 17mm works just fine, would focus on moon with some additional far focus travel to spare.
hope this helps.
oops just noticed you were really interested in 80mm which i have no experience with and might work.

Hello JGobeil.
I use the Hyperion 21mm with my PF80. Highly
delighted with it. Sadly, it's the Zoom that doesn't reach
focus. It will not go in far enough. There seems to be an
extra collar on it for some reason. This collar can't be
removed!
Kindest regards,
young Ian.

Thanks for the info Ian. If I understand correctly, you have 2 Hyperion EPs - a 21mm and a Zoom and the zoom one doesn't reach focus. Am I right ?

Jules
Jules,
So very sorry for not replying sooner. But somehow
your question slipped through the net.
If it's not too late for you the answer is :-
I bought the 21mm Hyperion EPs for my PF80ED
with-which I was highly delighted.
I then bought the Zoom which I returned as it didn't
reach focus. ( No way could it be made to-do so,it
just would not go in far enough)
I have since purchased the Pentax SMC 8-24mm Zoom.
But,I find the 21mm Hyperion is the one I use the most.
Kindest regards,
young Ian.

Hi again Young Ian....i am interested in the Hyperion zoom working on the Vixen GeomaED/opticron Imagic...Did you try the Hyperion Zoom on the Imagic?..i am sure it fits on the m35 thread and with all the extra fucus passing infinity in this scope ,i would be more than inclined to believe that this zoom would reach focus in the scope.....

Hello mayoaya,
Although we've chatted on another
thread. I will answer your question here.
mayoayo,
Thank you for your explanation. Yes,
I do recall that the barrel did unscrew etc.
Being overcome with grieve, it not focusing in
the PF-80. I returned it to the supplier.
It did not occur to me at the time, still
suffering from 'pangs of distress', to try it in
the Imagic. All this happened a year ago.
Now after reading your comments. I find
myself relapsing into deep depression for not
giving it a go in the Imagic.
Kindest regards,
young Ian.

In case someone is reading this, with interest to digiscopy, the new 24mm version would be better - lower power. Don't know if it will reach focus.
The Hyperion Aspheric Eyepiece 31mm and the 35mm version also would be great, if will reach focus...
If someone tested these combos, let us know!
