Baader Hyperion eyepieces also feature excellent internal baffling and multi-layer coatings that reduce reflections and maximize contrast, making them ideal for viewing faint galaxies and nebulae. Their robust construction ensures durability for field use and extended observing sessions under varying conditions. When paired with the right filters, these eyepieces can reveal even more subtle details in emission objects. That’s where the Optolong L-eXtreme filter comes in—a narrowband dual-pass filter that isolates H-alpha and OIII emissions.
