12mm baader Morpheus

[Connorbrad98]

I'm thinking of replacing my 12mm bst with the baader Morpheus 12mm is the Morpheus worth the upgrade?

I have got the 17.5mm Morpheus and I love it. The quality of views are second to none, I have all the BSTs too. I would say certainly it is worth the upgrade. I’m looking at getting the 9 & 6.5mm in that range too.

Based on my experience with the 14mm Morpheus relative to the 12mm BST, the Morpheus has much better eye relief, much wider field of view, somewhat crisper views, and somewhat better contrast.  It's also quite a bit more expensive, so it should offer some improvements.

Whether you should upgrade depends on what you want to improve.

What scope are you using?

ive just started using the morpheus 17.5 after several starguiders and find a big difference to me  in all ways over the bst,s.  now looking forward to another couple of morphs when i get them.

Based on my experiences between Morpheus 6.5mm and BST 5mm, I'd say the former offers more eye-relief, much wider fov, darker backgrounds and most importantly no ghosting on bright targets such as Mars and Jupiter. I also had the 12mm before I sold all my BSTs. It was the best of the bunch. If the Morpheus 12.5mm performed similarly to the 6.5mm, the only benefits I could see would be eye-relief and wider fov. Whether these are worth the extra cost is up to you.
