Nem tökéletesen parfokális 8mm-en.

Summary

A vizuális csillagászati megfigyelések kedvelői sokszor hallhatják, hogy egy zoom okulár mindig gyengébb optikailag, mint egy fix fókuszú verzió. Ez az állítás igaz és főleg az olcsóbb okulárokra jellemző. A fentiek ismeretében teszteltem a Hyperion Zoom okulárját és azt kell mondanom, hogy minden elvárásomat túlteljesítette! Kiváló betekintési szögek minden fókuszban, remek áteresztés jellemzi. 8mm-en szinte megegyezik a látott kép a fix 8mm-es verzióéval. Optikai müködéséből adódóan hosszabb fókuszon kisebb a látómező, de egyáltalán nem zavaró ez a változás. A minimálisan fényszegényebb kép illetve, a látómező változásai eltörpülnek amellett az érzés mellett, amikor az ember egy hosszú fókuszon megtalált gömbhalmazba egy mozdulattal belenagyít és tátva marad a szája. Bátran ajánlom: bemutatókhoz, szájtátásra, de akár komoly észlelőmunkához is ideális lehet (amennyiben kimérjük a látómezők méretét). Dobson-zsámolyon észlelőknek (főleg gyakori bemutatók esetén) kifejezetten ajánlott. (Kíváncsian várom, hogy viselkedik a hozzá optimalizált Barlow-lencsével.)
