Baader Polaris I 25mm Illuminated Eyepiece For Astronomy
- Product Code: eq57225
-
A part of their Astro T-2 line, the Baader Polaris I 25mm Illuminated Eyepiece for Astronomyis an ideal companion piece for improved tracking accuracy and measuring the size and magnitude of celestial objects.
The 25mm focal length produces a relatively low power on most telescopes to ensure a generous 40° field of view, while the 3-element/2-group lens design and Phantom Group multi-coatings ensure bright, clear, and crisp views. A double-cross reticle displays across the entire field of view and is illuminated red to preserve night-adjusted vision. To ensure the perfect amount of brightness, a rheostat gives users 11 intensity levels.
Internal threads on the front allow it to be directly attached to Astro accessories such as diagonals, or users can add optional 1.25" or 2" nosepieces for use as conventional eyepieces. On the back end is a fold-down rubber eyecup that can be removed to reveal standard T-mount threads. These accept optional camera-specific T-rings for various astrophotography and imaging techniques.

Q: 2. Can I use the Baader 76 degree Morpheus 4.5 mm eyepiece in the Celestron Regal M2 100ED spotting scope I have ordered from B&H?
A: It probably wont work properly because its too magnified. The Spotting scope is too short a focal length, I would recommend a 12 mm & higher.
Q: 3. Can I use the T-mount adapter shown in "Recimmended Accessories" to shoot through this eyepiece with my D-SLR? I already have one, and a Nikon F-mount adapter. Can I just screw it to the threads on the viewing end of the eyepiece, then attach my D-SLR via my Nikon adapter, or do I need to get a special connector?
A: You need this adapter to attach a T mount adapter, Alpine Astronomical Baader Hyperion M43/T-2 T-Adapter BH #ALHTA43T2 • MFR #HTA43/T2 https://bhpho.to/30q8Ltq
Q: 4. Can you use continuous led monolights. Like the 450 smallrig? Or would it be hot and melt the background?
A: The Angler HiKey Illuminated Background (6 x 7') was meant to be used with strobe or LED light sources; the manufacturer did not list any limits of the power being used.
Q: 5. I have this unit purchased, but it is on back order. Now I am looking at filters to go with it. Do filters need to be 1.25" or 2" in diameter to work in combination with this eyepiece?
A: You may use both 1.25" filters and 2" filters with the Alpine Astronomical Baader Hyperion 8-24mm Mark IV Zoom Eyepiece (1.25"/2"). According to the manufacturer, the Alpine Astronomical Baader Hyperion 8-24mm Mark IV Zoom Eyepiece (1.25"/2") includes both 1.25" and 2" barrels. The 1¼" Barrel is threaded for standard 1¼" filters, and the 2" Barrel for standard 2" filters.

A: It fits the Celestron 8se directly as long as you are not using the 2" Schmidt-Cassegrain Adapter.

A: That is correct, the B&H #ALHTA43T2 adapter is necessary to attach to T Mounts.
Q: 9. What is the outer housing diameter of this piece?? I need it to fit inside the 1.25" Orion Variable Universal Camera Adapter. So this eyepiece needs to have an outside diameter of less than 38.3mm.
A: The outer housing diameter of this eyepiece is listed at 101.5 mm so it would not fit.
Q: 10. How does the compass work? Is it displayed inside the viewing area of the binocular?
A: Yes it has an internal compass with rangefinding reticle. While the compass is electronically controlled for rapid response to bearing changes, illumination is by a natural daylight-gathering window. At night, you will need the optional external compass illuminator.
