8mm Hyperion purchased

[izakimak]

Received my Baader Hyperion yesterday for use in a Skywatcher 250px f4.8.

Very good.

Last night was a half moon. Sky was causing the moonlight to produce a very large orb of light round the moon. Also had broken cloud.

Could see different "caps" on jupiter.

M45 the nebular was visible.

Double cluster was a single cluster due to magnification, but each one fitted in the field of view.

[Telrad]

The Nebula was visible in M45?

The Nebula was visible on M45

I would imagine it may have been the eyepiece dewing up from the heat from your eye unfortunately.

The Pleiades stars are currently travelling through a massive stellar dust cloud which is illuminated by the stars and appears as nebulousity with good seeing. Very nice eyepiece, the 8mm was my favourite Hyperion.

[gfletcher]

I somehow do not think that it was the nebulosity that you saw.

[Carbon Brush]

I have seen the nebulosity in M45 several times using my SW200 and MN78. Definitely there. When none-M45 stars are clear and some M45 stars are in a grey mist.

Not last night though due to the poor viz here. Moon and Jupiter were only just managing to shine through.

[Damo636]

I have also seen it many times with the dob, its unmistakable really.

[Pug]

Seen it myself also, thought I was imagining it untill this thread tbh!

Nebulosity is definitely visible around the Pleiades stars. The stars are so bright that averted vision helps to make it stand out though.

[Telrad]

It's the surrounding nebulosity, not the nebula itself.

[RikM]

No, little fuzzies around the individual stars, Merope particularly. More obvious with higher magnification. Never seen it with less than the 10" though, was very good through my friends 12".

I hope you enjoy the eyepiece Nigel .

[izakimak]

Cheers Taffy_2.

The missus saw the nebula around the star as well.

Certainly not dew. Had no dewing probs at all.

[rwilkey]

I saw the nebulosity as well, thrilled to be honest, had a great view.

[izakimak]

Took this through the hyperion.

Done quickly with not much effort on focus. Just wanted to play.

[faulksy]

cool

[tombulgin]

nice one

[Charon]

Great image, the Moon never ceases to disappoint.

Thats why i have nebulosity around every star these days.
