Best eyepiece for Pentax 65EDA? (1 Viewer)

[Granpoli]

Hello,
Since I have, still on the way, a new Pentax PF-65EDA, although I have a Svbony zoom that I should try, I would like to get an eyepiece with fixed magnification and wide field to follow birds in movement and location, around 20x-30x ,
I prefer good eye relief, better a Pentax or a Morpheus, I'm between these two...
I would like to know your opinion...
cheers,
Gpoli.

Baader Hyperion ?

Have you try the UFF19 svbony (for 20x with your scope)

Baader hyperion fixed ep’s at 68 degree fov are pretty good glass at around $170

The Baader Hyperion have focus with the Pentax?
And for spectacles users, have a good eye relief?
170 dollars is a fantastic price!

on the SV406p yes, but the zoom no

Avec un peu de chance, il en sera de même avec le pentax.

Edit : one review here : https://www.adorama.com/pxss65ed2a.html#reviews
"Its been 2 - 3 weeks I have been using Pentax 65 Ed for Digiscoping. I use it with Baader Hyperion 17mm eyepiece and my Ricoh GX 200 for digiscoping. GX200's Lens adapter (HA1) attached to Baader EP 43 mm thread perfectly. The quality of digiscoping pictures taken with this combination is much better than cropped images from Sony A850 with sony G 70-300 mm lens taken from same distance (100 yards)

The Defintive Answer.

Does the Baader MK1V reach proper focus on the the Pentax PF80/65 spotting scope? Yes and no. The MK1V comes with two adapters s for the 1.25 nose piece. One is flat and one has a shoulder on the inside as you can see in the pics. My understanding is you swap the one with the shoulder for the...

Baader Hyperion Mark IV Zoom & Pentax PF-65ED Spotting Scope ?

Anybody out there who can verify that the new updated Mark IV Zoom will now focus to infinity in the little Pentax 65 ?

You know if the Fixed mag. Eyepieces of Baader have the problem of kidney beam?

Not enough experiment, but the couple hours of use of the 13mm on my sv406p show me nothing of that

This eyepiece APM/Sky Rover is very sharp, has generous eye relief (23mm), wide 85* FOV, only minor distortion at the field edge, and the pupil is easy to find and hold. It is an outstanding daytime/terrestrial performer. I use the Sky Rover version on a BT with 400mm focal length (32X) and the view is bright. For comparison the PF-65EDA has a 390mm focal length for 31X. As for infinity focus on the PF-65EDA I can't say, but in my eyepiece holder I can reach focus at 10m with a little room to spare, plus see out to the moons and cloud bands of Jupiter on the other end of adjustment range. There is also enough focus room to accommodate a moon filter.

The Noblex UWA 12.5mm is the best of the best for terrestrial use and a very good astronomical eyepiece too.
