Electronically Assisted Astronomy & Astrophotography with Hyperstar
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 авг 2023
- This video answers the questions: 1) What is Hyperstar; 2) What can it do for your EAA and Astrophotography sessions; and 3) What you need to know to get going. I will explain how it works, how to order the correct Hyperstar for your SCT and camera, show you how to install it on your SCT and everything else you need to know about using it correctly and safely. We will see actual images taken with Hyperstar to show how you can take advantage of its fast and wide field transformation of your f/10 SCT. Hyperstar converts a Celestron SCT into a wide field optical system which is 25x faster than in its native configuration.

Always good to meet another HyperStar EAA fan. Absolute game changer for those of us living in light polluted suburbs.
Still watching videos and thinking. Thanks.
Fantastic video, Curtis. I found it very helpful! 👍👍
Thanks for letting me know.
Great video. Thanksf or taking the time and putting in all of that info. Really enjoyable.
Thank Curtis. Your videos is really clear and helpful
Excellent video - I had a book of questions about the hyperstar, especially as it is a fairly chunky investment for non professionals but now I'm reassured that when it finally arrives I know what to expect - cheers :)
A really excellent educational video. No. B.S. and no filler. I received a nice ASI camera for Christmas last year but have yet to try any astrophotography. This video very much helped me understand the importance and practical use of Hyperstar. Thanks for making and posting the video and for additional source material.
Glad you found it helpful.
Very good video and explanation Curtis! It was really helpful. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks.
Yeah, the Bahtinov mask fits good. But how do you put it in place when the cables are connected?
Agree, thanks Curtis...had no idea of the Hyperstar device, I have a CPC800XLT and I would love to explore placing a Camera on the front, so I shall organise a purchase of the Hyperstar for the 8" scope soon. I'd be interested in your thoughts on "Deforking" said CPC Telescopes too?....cheers Clint - Melbourne.
Clint, I have no experience with a CPC so I can't give any feedback on deforking. Alt-Az mounts are very nice for their simplicity in setup but putting the 8" on an EQ mount will give you more options. Good luck!
👍🏼
Can hyperstar be installed on Celestron 8SE. If yes, link to purchase please
Absolutely it can and an 8" SCT is considered the sweet spot for SCT apertures for cost, weight and performance. Here are the affiliate links to two different vendors I use often, one on the east coast and one on the west coast. I added links for the Hyperstar and for a Bahtinov mask which I find very helpful for focusing. For the Hyperstar you just have to select the camera you intend to use from the pull down menu, and select CPC Series with Fastar Secondary and Alt-Az mount.
Good luck!

There is also a Hyperstar for the 9.25 SCT
Didn't I say that in the video. There just is no conversion kit for the older 9.25" SCTs.
Sorry, you are right! Anyways, great video with a lot of information@@astronomytipsreviewswithcu740
Using a planetary camera ?
Not really. ZWO lists any non-cooled camera as either a planetary camera of a guide camera. But if you check more detail you will see that many of the so-called planetary cameras are also listed as good for DSO. I would consider the 533 to be a good DSO camera whether cooled or uncooled.
