MORPHEUS ® 76° WIDE-FIELD
EYEPIECES
Morpheus is the God of Dreams - and after more
than four years of development we present the eyepiece of our dreams: The
MORPHEUS ® . 76 ° wide-field EYEPIECE
Even If A Certain movie-classic hints otherwise - our Morpheus ® are absolutely
real. Featuring a true 76 ° field of view, they immerse you in the Universe
without having to roll your eyes. The big eye
relief is perfect for observing with glasses and the comfortable viewing-
behavior leads to a "Spacewalk feeling" that normally is provided
only by eyepieces with a much larger and inaccessible apparent field of
view. Meanwhile the
image in no way distorted or appears like viewing through a fishbowl. Center contrast
and brilliance match the finest Planetary eyepieces - while even with the
fastest telescope optics you will enjoy tack sharp stars close to the outer
edge of the field.
We
have put as much effort into the workmanship as into the optical design. Phantom Coating ® Group, rare-earth
glasses, sealed watertight housings and blackened lens edges are a given. Practical design
is the prime goal: i.e. minimum metal to keep weight at bay, optimized for
Bino-viewing, photo- video thread - and the all-new 1 ¼" and 2"
"Safety Kerfs" to guard against slipping (no undercut). In the night you
will love the quick draw holster eyepiece and the photo-luminescent
engraving.

All
Morpheus ® Highlights
Optical
Features
- Fullfield Sharpness: The Sharp flat 76 ° field
is unsurpassed by any other modern Widefield eyepiece. On-axis
sharpness and contrast rivals our best planetary eyepieces, while
delivering nearly equivalent performance over the full field. Stars remain diamond
pinpoints as you move away from center, and the field remains flat and
in focus, even in short focus telescopes.
- Long Eye Relief: Morpheus pushes the
envelope of comfortable viewing in a Wide Field further than ever
before, delivering close to 20 mm of eye relief along with
best-in-class optical performance. Eyeglass wearers can
comfortably take in the full field, and users of Binoviewers will find
that Morpheus make the ultimate eyepieces for viewing with two eyes.
- Low Distortion: The Morpheus optical design
delivers exceedingly low angular magnification distortion. Planets and lunar features
retain their shapes as they transit the field and the true field sizes
are close to theoretical. Many companies exaggerate
at this point and deliberately use off axis distortion magnification
as a means to advertize blown "apparent" field sizes. You will be able to compare
this field size of 76 ° and find it to be the true value.
- Immersive Views: As avid observers
ourselves, we have studied the behaviors of most commonly available
Widefield eyepieces and listened to other observers' comments on what
eyepieces give the most palpable and engaging Widefield viewing
experience. What
we found is indeed the subjective 'spacewalk' feeling is not just a
function of field of view. Interestingly, some
wide-field eyepieces with fields of 82 degrees failed to deliver the
same viewing experience as others with similar fields, or even some
with smaller fields. We
found two additional primary factors played into the equation - Eye
Relief (and the related large eye lens size) and Ease of Viewing (a
combination of long eye relief and control of pupil aberrations). We found so many below 74
degrees fields tended to have a reduced effect. So, with this information
in hand, we set out to design a new eyepiece with a field of view
greater than 74 ° that met all of the other optical parameters necessary
to deliver a truly "immersive" viewing experience where the
eyepiece essentially disappears. The result is Morpheus ® .
- Phantom Coating ® Group: Pioneered in the
Hyperion lineup, the Phantom Group multi-coatings have been further
optimized for use in the Morpheus and index-matched to each of the
different glasses.
- Optimized Internal
Baffling: As
with all Baader Planetarium eyepieces, the internal mechanicals have been
fully ray-traced and baffled to eliminate the effects of stray-light.
Mechanical
Features
- Optimized for Binoviewing: Every last bit of space has
been squeezed out of the main body to minimize its size, giving
maximum clearance for your nose when binoviewing.
- Weight reduction: Every effort has been made
to eliminate unnecessary weight - Especially in view of effective
binoviewing. The
weight of all Morpheus eyepieces are essentially the lenses inside. Plus
you get the best protection and water resistance we can supply.
- Foldable Eyecups: The Morpheus include two
soft rubber dual-position foldable eyeguards . These innovative new
eyeguards have been developed to provide the optimal comfort and eye
spacing for most users and eye glass wearers. The included special winged
version provides the ultimate comfort and exclusion of stray light necessary
for binoviewing.
- Safety Features: The 1 ¼ "and 2"
Barrels of each Morpheus incorporate our new slip-protect Safety
Kerfs. The ideal safety compromise
between smooth barrels and wide undercuts. The numerous shallow kerfs
give additional grip and security from inadvertent drops from smooth
sided barrels, without the annoying problem sometimes caused by
traditional wide undercuts. Wide waffle-patterned
rubber grip rings give an extra measure of handling security.
- Photo-Video Adaptation: Like their Hyperion
siblings, all Morpheus eyepieces make superb imaging projection
optics. Each Morpheus includes a
hidden M43 photo-video eye lens thread that permits use of our
extensive range of Hyperion Digital T-Rings. These rings permit
direct-thread attachment of practically any imaging device for the
ultimate in rigidity, with close-coupling for minimal vignetting.
