John Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 They are designed specifically to work with the Baader Hyperions. You can use them as barrel extensions for eyepieces that have a hybrid 2" / 1.25" barrel but they won't give the amplification effect that they do when used with the Hyperions.The rings don't contain any optical elements but act as a spacer between the two optical sets within body of the Hyperion eyepiece. Except the Hyperion 24mm which only uses a single optical set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwilkey Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Even when used with Baader Hyperion's, they are a real faff to change around in the dark. I use them as extension pieces now and very useful they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
