Baader 28 mm Hyperion Fine Tuning Ring

Change the focal length of your Hyperion eyepiece with ease using Baader's 28 mm Hyperion Fine Tuning Ring! Easily install it between the front element and the main body of the eyepiece. The Baader 28 mm Hyperion Fine Tuning Ring is made to match the Hyperion finish, and is fully sharp v-threaded and blackened internally to eliminate stray light reflections from the internal surfaces.

With the addition of Baader's Fine Tuning Rings, your Hyperion eyepiece can now function as not one, but four eyepieces with the addition of the Baader 28 mm Fine Tuning Ring. Both the 14 mm Fine Tuning Ring and the 28 mm Fine Tuning Ring have an outside diameter (OD) of 2" and are threaded with an M48 (filter thread) on each end, so they can be installed in between the removable front negative element and the main body of the Hyperion eyepiece. The added spacing decreases the focal lengths (or increases magnification).

Note: Removal and installation of the front negative element should be done in a clean environment to prevent dust or other contamination from depositing on the internal elements, which are very difficult to clean. Also, please be aware that the Baader 24 mm Hyperion Eyepiece is not able to make use of the Fine Tuning Rings, due to the difference in its optical design.

Eva ★★★★★

This ring is incredibly precise; threading it onto my Hyperion eyepiece was smooth and secure, which gave me the exact focal length adjustment I was hoping for. It feels solid and well-machined, and I've already used it to dial in a sharper view of Jupiter.

David ★★★★★

I was worried about fiddling with threads, but the ring screwed on smoothly between the eyepiece and barrel, and it gave me a noticeably wider field for low-power scanning. Takes about two minutes to swap, and now my Hyperion feels like a completely different eyepiece.

Victoria A. ★★★★★

Adding the 28mm ring shifted my eyepiece’s focal length just as described, and the thread fit snugly without any wobble when I twisted it into place. Took less than a minute to swap, and the view through the scope felt noticeably more comfortable for my eye relief.
