All Baader Morpheus wide-field eyepieces with 4.5 to 17.5 mm focal length form the perfect complement to your low magnification eyepieces.

Even at highest magnification, each Morpheus eyepiece does provide a larger field of view than what is claimed for by many eyepieces with over 80 degrees of apparent field of view.

The absence of distortion in the eyepiece enables you to oversee the full field at once and to easily find the best viewing position, while enjoying a spacewalk feeling unmatched by others.

You will see deep sky objects wonderfully embedded into their stellar surroundings. In addition, the large, sharp field of view gives you much more viewing time on non-motorized telescopes without touching the telescope and w/o changing the eyepiece.

All Morpheus eyepieces feature both 1.25″ and 2″ size without the much hated undercuts.

Still all Morpheus® eyepieces are perfectly safe against slipping due to their multitude of individual Safety-Kerfs cut into the barrels.

The 2″ nosepiece is integrated into the eyepiece body which saves about 21 mm in focus travel. This becomes especially useful with ultra low focal plane (visual Newtonian) telescopes.

And for many other scopes it does eliminate the need for a 2 “/ 1¼” reducer adapter.

Just like the modular Hyperion® eyepiece series with 68° field of view, the 76° Morpheus® eyepiece series is also especially suitable for photography.

Optical Features

• Full Field Sharpness: The sharp, flat 76° field is unsurpassed by any other modern wide field eyepiece.  On-axis sharpness and contrast rivals the Zeiss Abbe II 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 wide field viewing further than ever before, delivering close to 20mm 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^® are the ultimate eyepieces for viewing with two eyes.
• Low Distortion: The highly sophisticated optical design delivers exceedingly low distortion (angular magnification distortion). Planets and lunar features retain their shapes as they transit the field and the true field sizes match the theoretical value. 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 given field size of 76° and find it to be the true value, calculated from the apparent field size and focal length.
• Immersive Views: As avid observers ourselves, we have studied the behaviors of most commonly available wide field eyepieces and listened to other observers comments on what eyepieces give the most palpable and engaging wide field viewing experience. What we found is that 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 also found that fields much below 74 degrees tended to have a reduced effect. So, with this information in hand, we set out to design the Morpheus^® series with a field of view of 76° that met all of the other optical parameters necessary to deliver a truly “immersive” viewing experience where the eyepiece essentially disappears.
• 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 and reflections.
