Attaching HyperStar to a Telescope
มุมมอง 8K6 ปีที่แล้ว
HyperStar is based on Celestron's innovative Fastar feature. This feature allows the secondary mirror to be removed from Celestron's Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes. By mounting the HyperStar lens assembly in place of the secondary mirror, a CCD camera can be mounted at the front of the telescope allowing for a wider field of view and much faster imaging. Switching from HyperStar to the telescope...
Cool Edge - SCT Cooler
มุมมอง 2.5K6 ปีที่แล้ว
The Starizona Cool Edge was named one of Sky & Telescope's Hot Products for 2012! The latest innovative product from Starizona is designed to help rapidly stabilize your telescope with the ambient air temperature. The Cool Edge is designed with Celestron's new EdgeHD optical system in mind. Because this telescope design has lens elements inside the primary baffle tube, it is not possible to use...

Installing a HyperStar Conversion Kit
มุมมอง 16K6 ปีที่แล้ว
This kit allows a non-HyperStar-compatible SCT to be converted into a compatible telescope. The kit includes three components that replace the original secondary mirror assembly. To install, the original assembly must be removed from the telescope. The corrector plate is removed first. Then the baffle tube is unthreaded to allow the secondary holder to be removed. The secondary mirror itself is...

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.
as in buffing circles, he's not going in circles.
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?
No it wont
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
I've seen many guys in astronomy forums using this corrector with C9.25 + ASI2600 cameras (APS-C size) and works quite well! Stock 0,63x reducers (Celestron, Meade) are for visual observing. I've got a C11 + Celestron 0,63x reducer using with a modified APS-C Canon 650D. Almost half of the field of view is garbage, full of coma error. I'm planning to buy this 0.63x Starizona reducer, because it works great with C11 + APS-C size sensors. Look for this video: "Starizona SCT Corrector - Full Review". There's a great comparsion of this reducer and Celestron reducer in the video.
@@krisztiangulyas5068 thanks for the input, appreciate it. it helped me take the decision.
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?
@@lespoy445 I don't have one of these.
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?
I recently read somewhere it doesnt and that the plate is able to carry many times the weight of this lense.
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?
I cannot see why not ...
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.
Not true. With my experience the fan does not add any temperature to the secondary mirror. The secondary is being cooled with the same temperature air as the primary, the only theoretical opportunity to heat the secondary would be the few seconds when you are removing it. This doesn't happen . Verified with a thermal gun. Your statement is inaccurate.
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?
Would love to know the answer to this too…… anybody enlighten us?
A must for my Astrophotography sessions. Very, very good!
