I've tried this a few times in the past, but now i seem to have "micro scratches" on my corrector plate for some reason, so beware or watch your technique closely.

the camera tech back then..yeesh ;)

man just a small bump and you shatter that corrector plate, risky mod lol. Wish they made them for meades too though.. idk why they don't exist for a meade.

Anoying background music!!

Tempting.

Hello, with this reducer could I transform an EdgeHD into a competent asteroid hunter?

Dean and the crew are very helpful when it comes to the hyperstar. I have one on an 8" SCT. have talked with Dean a few times about it. He offers great suggestions to fix problems he knows about. I might be looking for a lager SCT to use maybe a 9.25" or 11"

Can hyperstar be installed on Celestron 8SE. If yes, link to purchase please

kill the distracting background music (noise).

Celestrons manual clearly states "do not wipe in circles" I use a hurricane blower and Baader Planetarium wonder fluid and micro fibre cloth. Wipe from centre outwards.

Nobody watches your video because he wants to hear annoying elevator music!

Is it work on celestron 150 nexstar XLT ?

even though it's built for it, always feel weird seeing weight being added to the front lenses. more weight on glass doesn't sit right with me

I have a 5se. It fits?

Mmmm Celestron's manual specifically says "DO NOT WIPE IN CIRCLES lol I use Baader Planetarium wonder fluid and their micro fibre cloth. Works like a dream.

The music is way to loud to be able to hear the speaker!

I have a celestron 9.25 standard SCT (non-Edge version). and my imaging camera is ZWO ASI 071MC. will this corrector do end-end coma correction? will my imaging frame be bigger than the corrector-circle, leaving the edges non corrected (and correction happens only in center)? because that is what is currently happening with my meade 0.63x corrector

Hello, thanks for the video: it is possible to use it with a Nextstar 6 se? (does not have fastar label) - thanks

What is the name or the item number of that DSLR camera adaper? I can't find it in Starizona's webshop. The backfocus of the corrector is 90,3 mm. The DSLR sensor sits 45mm deep inside the Canon DSLR camera body, so that must be something 45,3 mm long.

Just came across this and it is helpful. However, while a point is made to not lose data in the lower end with the red slider, the same is true for the higher end. The examples shown the final product has stars that are all white because the color information in bright objects is lost by aggressive stretching to bring out the dimmer parts. If you want color in your stars, don't apply a log stretch on clipped high end data, be sure to include it all by moving the green slider all the way to the right. This is where MaxIM DL is not the best, take the result and put it in Photoshop for final application of curves and saturation adjustments. Otherwise, the big advantage to MaxIM DL is that all of the processes in this video can be automated with a script, making it one button.

I'd like to add that methanol is a very toxic substance, and is quite easily absorbed through the skin. It's also very volatile. Good ventilation, gloves and eye protection are highly encouraged when working with it, even in small amounts.

is an old Meade 8 inch SCT LX200 compatible w/ hyperstar?

Good information but whoever decided to put that horrid music in the backgrounds needs a good flogging.

I wish you did not have the music in the background. It makes your lecture hard to listen to.

Sir, does Maxim DL easily connect and control the telescope MOUNT? Thanks.

Does the corrector plate flex from these cameras?

I met David on the shuttle bus at Stellafane in 98 or 99. I just bought a Celestron 800 HDEdge and want to put one of these on the front of it. That is so cool that it is already set up to accept one.

Does the weight of this system distort the correct plate?

nice video, thanks! But the music is mutch too loud, BTW, why music??

I don't get it. You just put a camera on the front without this extra device. What does it do?

Do the Hyperstars come pre collimated before they are shipped?

So a make shift RASA

Does this work on a Celestron EHD800?

Is the hyperstar V4 currently compatible with the ZWO ASIAir Pro/Plus? Are you able to PA and do your workflow through the ZWO ASIAir?

It's a good thing to quickly cool down the scope from a large temperature difference. However, the air being cooled is being pulled through the motor which is several Watts in power, which acts like a several Watts heater to the primary mirror. So, the mirror will always be somewhat warmer than the outside air, no matter how long you cool your scope with CoolEdge.

The background music can probably be reduced by 40%...some of the elements of the music conflict with his dialogue and I end up having to "rewind' to make out what he said. Good info nonetheless!

what about doing this when you are imaging in open field it will cause dust to go in?

Nice video, but how does one unthread the first ring when the secondary is spinning because yall can't include a 10$ gasket? (And charge it to the hyperstar).

Great video, maybe turn down the background music & increase your voice audio next time.....

Thank you. Also very helpful explanations.

Has a conversion kit been made for the 8 or 10 inch Meade LX200 Classics?

I can't wait to get mine in the mail. I'm not into the hours and hours of data gathering or late nights (wait, why did I take up this hobby? :)) ...

Is there a discernible difference between a Hyperstar adapted SCT and a RASA of the same aperture?

Made In USA !

Great! I was processing M27 with an dark, flat, bias filter with HII filter, and this helped a lot.

Wait, so is it possible to use a Celestron C8 with Hyperstar with a Canon DSLR? Or would it only work with a bigger scope like a C11?

A must for my Astrophotography sessions. Very, very good!
