 Hyperstar HyperStar is based on Celestron's innovative Fastar feature. This feature allows the secondary mirror to be removed from Celestron's 8", 11", and 14" 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, much faster imaging. Stop Press - Now available for Celestron C6 as well The HyperStar lens assembly works with a variety of cameras from SBIG, Starlight Xpress, SAC, Orion, Meade, and Astrovid. Different cameras require different adapters, however. One adapter is included with the HyperStar lens. Please specify the camera being used when ordering. A holder is included for safe storage of the secondary mirror while imaging. The HyperStar system allows the telescope to operate at a focal ratio of f/2.0, an incredible 25 times faster than the standard f/10 focal ratio! Images can be obtained in just seconds! Hyperstar is also available for Meade 14" telescopes. (Some require a conversion kit). Conversion kits are also available for non-Fastar Celestron Telescopes. These are shown at the bottom of this page. For more information please click here |

 | Hyperstar 3 for Celestron C8 Edge HD Ref: SZ-HS3-C8HD
This model includes the required adapter ring to fit the HyperStar lens to the Edge HD model telescope. An additional adapter would be required to adapt this lens to an older (non-HD) telescope. 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's normal f/10 configuration is simple and fast. It takes only a minute or two, requires no tools, and the telescope's secondary mirror is indexed so no recollimation is necessary. The HyperStar lens assembly works with a variety of cameras from Atik, Orion, Meade, Mallincam, SBIG, Starlight Xpress and more. Different cameras require different adapters in order to preserve the critical backfocus distance of the HyperStar lens. One adapter is included with the HyperStar lens. Please specify the camera being used when ordering. A holder is included for safe storage of the secondary mirror while imaging. The HyperStar systems allows an 8" telescope to operate at a focal ratio of f/2.1, an incredible 23 times faster than the standard f/10 focal ratio. Images can be obtained in just seconds.
