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 it easier to identify the correct focal length. Also, a short lightstroke with a flashlight will have the letters shine 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. Also incorporates an M43 thread so suitable for photo/video.
A new ‘Safety Kerfs’ finish (ridged surface) has been applied to both 1.25” and 2” barrels to prevent the eyepiece slipping in the focuser draw tube.
Supplied with winged eyecup and a ‘quick-draw holster’ storage pouch that can be worn on a belt.
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!
Serie Morpheus,sicuramente nn la migliore in assoluto,ma in questa fascia d prezzo,assolutamente si.....
My first of the range was the 9mm. I wanted 100x in my 900mm telescopes. When I started using the 9mm, its immersive views, decent eye relief for wearing glasses and sharpness across the field of view, was a winning combination.Next I bought the 17.5mm. It is as pleasant and eye-friendly to use as the 9mm, singly or in a bino-viewer.Over a period of time, I added the other 4 focal lengths; 12.5, 6.5, 14 & 4.5mm. Baader's Morpheus range is now my main 1.25 inch eyepiece choice, well worth the investment.
