Model: morpheus_ep_4-5mmPart Number: 2954204
Baader Morpheus eyepieces offer a wide 76° field of view with pin-sharp stars edge to edge, even with fast telescopes.
Rare-earth glass elements and ‘Phantom’ optical coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces provide maximum light transmission.
Blackened lens edges and interior enhance contrast and minimise ghosting.
Long eye-relief and soft silicon-rubber eyecups make them comfortable to use, even when wearing spectacles.
Sealed watertight housing protects the interior from dust and moisture.
Glow-in-the-dark photo-luminescent markings make identifying the correct focal length easier. Also, a short light stroke with a flashlight will cause the text to glow for up to three minutes. So, even in total darkness, Morpheus-eyepieces can be easily found when lost on the ground.
Designed to be as compact and lightweight as possible, so an excellent choice for use with binoviewers. They also incorporate an M43 thread, so suitable for photo/video.
A new ‘Safety Kerfs’ finish (ridged surface) has been applied to 1.25” and 2” barrels to prevent the eyepiece from slipping in the focuser draw tube.
Supplied with a winged eyecup and a ‘quick-draw holster’ storage pouch that can be worn on a belt.
I bought Morpheus 17,5 eyepiece and would like to say if any w thinking to get one don’t think I just get it is brilliant eyepiece for the price I used eyepiece delivered with me telescope celestron star sense 6” and Beader zoom 8-24 mm wich is very good optical as well but one I put Morpheus 17,5 just realised I am not goin use it anymore whatsoever more just made decisionThe Mirhepus will be main eyepieces workable for me and I am going buy the another 14 mm now Briliant optical very easy to look through double cluster can see easily both of them in it moon can’t believe how sharp and clear was last night absolutely brilliant what I am thinking now and hope will help the others if they thinking to buy some eyepiece be careful with purchase thinks and consider what telescope you have cause you can spend a lot of money and to be honest with you might not be happy I was very careful with it and bought Beader zoom first but it is for sale now on eBay not because is bad but because Morpheus is going be my choice to use every night since got it By the way FLO is grate service very helpful guys especially Alex who had very good knowledge I found Thank you FLO for brilliant service . Anywya if you need eyepiece don’t go for small numbers first start from bigger number which is more comfortable to see on the sky usually 5 mm for example except for some detailed looking I would say is useless for me of course so I found myself 17.5 and 14 mm Morpheus will be my main eyepiece choice for ever Jarek P Hope I helped the other to make a choice Regards JareaP
Finally got a cloudless sky to try out my new Morpheus 6.5. Beautifully sharp view and a joy to use. My third favorite behind my Baader Hyperion zoom and my Baader 31mm Aspheric. Great service FLO, thanks.
Eyepieces to be used specifically with Lunt Engineering 100mm binocular for observation of DSO's.Living in Highlands no dark skies for awhile so restricted to terrestrial viewing.EP's are well made and seem a good ergonomic fit with binoculars. No problems getting image into focus.Eye placement relative to EP and comfort for viewing good. Clear image with good contrast: some colour "flaring" against bright background but unlikely to be a problem for DSO observations. Eye relief (with glasses) very good. Improvements could be made with rubber eyecups.In many reviews this issue has been flagged up: for me wearing glasses and having caps folded down not a problem. FLO service, as always, excellent. Thanks!
Fantastic eyepieces and so comfortable to use. There is a generous amount of eye relief and the image is crystal clear with no aberration that i could see. No ghosting or pincushion distortion. I will now be adding the rest of the range to my collection. The 76 degree FOV is more than adequate for me. Super fast delivery and well packaged by FLO as is the norm
Did the usual should I, shouldn't I read the reviews of SGL and as soon as Flo got some in bought one, really impressed with the clarity, the veil has been lifted from my eyes and I will be adding to my collection.As usual thanks to Flo for their 100% professional service.
This eyepiece line really is quite remarkable, in that it offers spectacular views that are both seriously immersive, and supremely comfortable. The 76° apparent field is just about the maximum field the eye can take in at once, and so is comfortable for lengthy viewing sessions. The 12.5mm, which I bought from FLO and which was delivered the next working day, was bought as a medium power deep sky eyepiece for use in my 4" apo refractor, and it doesn't disappoint. The star images are exquisite and the image clarity a joy to behold. When fully dark adapted viewing through the Morpheus leaves a lasting impression, with nebulae both bright and dark, appearing almost in 3D against the finest, almost limitless, diamond dust starry background. After spending over 40 years as a visual observer and having used many of the great eyepieces offered by TeleVue and Pentax, the Morpheus is something very special in comparison, and at a fraction of the cost.
I’ve been using the full range now for about 12 months now and it’s safe to say that I won’t be looking for any replacements and that includes the famous expensive alternatives. These eyepieces are outstanding with comfortable eye relief and sharp immersive views across a wide field of view. It’s difficult to pick out a favorite but the 9mm is excellent and the 4.5mm is great for planetary viewing, good magnification and contrast with a wide field of view
have not tried it at night yet (clouds). set up during the day and the clarity of the image was impressive and the solid feel of the eyepiece was good. happy with my purchase.
This is my third Morpheus, and it performs exactly as hoped. I wanted a little bit more mag for my 76mm refractor, and this new eyepiece gives me a tad over 120x. It made Mars really pop, and delivered the clearest, most detailed view of the planet's surface that I've seen so far. Love it! And it arrived very swiftly, thanks to FLO's excellent service - thanks guys!
We finally had a fleeting high pressure this weekend so along with photographing comet neowise, I also couldn't wait to try out my new eyepiece- the 6.5mm Morpheus. This is the first Morpheus eyepiece I've bought and despite being quite low in the sky, the views it gave me of Jupiter and Saturn were incredible. Indeed I was able to observe the cloud belts of Jupiter and Saturn and I could easily see the cassini division in the rings. I own a tracking dob so I was also able to use this to observe M13 and hold it in the view. My jaw nearly hit the floor at what this eyepiece revealed! The eye relief was very comfortable and the eyepiece, although feeling nice and solid was not too heavy. Suffice to say I now want the set!
