Considering you started just recently, you really seem to have a natural nack for both making nice videos and astrophotography. 👍 I do believe that the company making the HyperStar is named after the state of Arizona with St added in front. 😊
Looking forward to seeing the results with this very nice setup!
I really appreciate your comment 😊 I wasn’t sure if the videos are any good, my wife knows I have started RUclips but hasn’t watched any videos yet 🫣 so I haven’t asked anyone if there are good 😂 I was just enjoying doing them. That’s an interesting fact I didn’t know that, hopefully next weekend I’ll send a video of me running the hyperstar for the first time. Thanks again 👍
Been diggin the content brother! Hope your community grows fast.
Thank you 🙏 I hope so too, I’m surprised I’m as far along as I am already, loving every minute 🥳
that is a total game changer
Thanks for your comment 👍 I’m really looking forward to it, next week we should have first light 🤞
I honestly appreciate your video, I can wait to see the collimation. I purchased the Hyperstar for my HD800 today and can wait for the unit to arrive.
Thank you, it really is an amazing piece 👌I was so excited my wife said I was like the kids at Christmas 🤣
Nice I have the hyperstar on my 14 hd. It’s a tricky pice of kit to get right but when you have it dialled in you will not regret the purchase. Good luck and great channel.
Thanks so much for your comment. I used it last night for the first time and it was incredible 🥳 the C14 is a beast do you have that in an observatory? That’s my retirement scope for sure 👌
@@Learn_astrophotography I did build a shed and used it there but unfortunately I moved house so it’s not being used a the moment. Hopefully set it up again soon just using other scopes at the moment but miss the long focal length. Hope to see your results with the hyperstar in a future video brother 👍
Well done Tom. Keep up the great work. You are well on your way. Been thinking about this piece of kit as well.
Thank you I love astrophotography so much 👍Go for it! It’s a great piece of tech that’s worked so well for me. Some people have had issues but it’s been good for me 😀
Tom thanks for the video. I am researching getting a Hyperstar for my standard C11. This video is great. The only thing that is a small pet peeve of mine is the loud background music. Sometimes it's hard to hear you over the music and it is a bit distracting.
Sorry, I was unwell when making these videos and didn’t hear or watch them back, I have adjusted all my new videos to -12db and music to -22db when talking, I’m hoping this will sort out my bad sound editing. I’m still working out how to do all this ☹️ I think I will be ok now let me know on my new videos and if it’s still not rich please let me know. I really appreciate your feedback 👍
Nice. I recently bought a Celestron C6 Schmidt Cassegrain and a HyperStar 6 v4 and am learning how to use the optical tube before I install the HyperStar. Only been in the celestial photography hobby since August of 2023 and am almost ready to start posting videos.
That’s great what focal length does that put the 6” down to? You will get some real nice wide angle shots 👌
Another great video Tom, maybe you should have bought the RASA 11 to start with, as that’s what you essentially have now…the 294 is a very good camera, but it does have its quirks quirks, such as amp glow, so you will deffo need to take flats with it to remove the glow. But it will give superb images when calibrated well.
Look forward to seeing your first light with the hyper star…👍🏻
Thanks for your comment, I was thinking about the RASA to start with but I also love that I can now switch from 2800 to 540mm focal, I wanted that great for planets and nebula which I’m hoping I will get now. Yeah I heard the amp glow is a bit much but will be good experience processing with a more tricky camera 👍
@@Learn_astrophotography yes, good point re the planetary imaging, I never considered that….👍🏻
Another nice video! Hyperstar is great. I gave two. Version 3 for my edge HD 8 and version 4 for my C 9.25. I also have a rasa 8 as well. Redundant I know but I love gadgets. You will love the speed and the detail you get. You essentially made an 11 inch rasa with the ability to use it at F 10, f1.9, F 7 or with a Barlow for planetary. It is a little challenging at first to deal with sensor tilt and collocation as well as the narrow focus point but once you have it dialed in, you will love the ability to even image multiple targets in one night. Great job. Luis from NY
Hey Luis, thanks for the comment wow you do love your telescopes, I can’t wait to see first light with this 👍 I’m all jittery 😂 I’m kinda looking forward to collimating this one 🤞
Keep the good work going! 150+ subscribers in a few weeks is very good
Thanks for your comment, yeah I’m amazed, I was doing this for fun so it’s fantastic to get subs likes and comments on my videos 🙏
What about ye mate. Just stumbled upon you as I was searching for answers on the drawer and you seemed to have answered it for me, now to try it out before I install. Just received my as2600mc duo and my Hyperstar and very excited. Looking forward to your next video and first light with the HS whilst I await the Canadian winter clouds to roll away. Cheers mate and all the best with your channel.
Welcome to the channel, thank you for subscribing 👍 that’s great, let me know what the duo is like I was thinking of buying one to review, clever they guide and image in one piece. Awesome 😊
I have a C11 Edge HD and am considering getting the Hyperstar. Thank you for making this video. I am glad to be one of your new subscribers from Waco, Texas.
Welcome to the channel 😊 all the way from sunny Texas love it, we should have first light next week so I will post a video on how I get on and collimating the the beast 👌
Thanks for the reply. I would like to see how you make all your USB connections. I have the CGX mount, Celestron Dew Heater Controller, Star Sense Autoguider, and a ZWO ASI224MC camera. Do you connect your computer to the mount directly via USB? If so, how do you connect the other USB devices? I have tried running a separate USB connection to the Dew Heater Controller but I cannot seem to get my Dew Heater Controller and Star Sense Austoguider to both show up in CPWI.
@@chaprick0106 I run the whole system through the Eagle 5 s, everything gets plugged into that so I only have a power supply that goes to the computer. I then remote access it from my pc or iPad. On my channel I have another video of the Eagle 5 s 👍
Great video Tom, what a setup can't wait to see the images from it, hope the clouds go soon👍👍
Cheers for the comment, I managed 6 hours last night and just finished with 4 hours on tonight, the hyperstar is amazing 🤩 I’m speechless with how good it is 🙏
hope this turns out well! i think you’ll really enjoy it, and still having the option to switch to f/10 for galaxies when you want, unlike with a RASA
Thanks for your comment, yes this is exactly why I got this one, I did look at the RASA which is a great scope but I love I can switch now between 2800mm or 540mm 🥳 I used it last night for the first time and loved it 🤩
Love this, Tom! Bring on the next video! 👍🌟🪐⭐
Cheers buddy 😁 appreciate the sub mate 👍 the picture came out great thanks you for your help today.
Tom, your rig is any amateur astrophotographers dream! The hyperstar really is a worthy upgrade.
Really curious to see how you go about doing the pier since they can be made in so many different ways... Will you be doing cement or ordering a metal pier or something else? Cheers & clear skies.
Thanks for your comment, yeah it’s a dream for sure, took a bit of money to get there but I love her now 🥳 so I am going to make concrete piers, I have the reinforcement bars already and then I also have mesh I will put around the diameter to strengthen, if all goes to plan I will have 2 in the observatory and 2 outside in the garden. Clear skies to you my friend 👍
@@Learn_astrophotography Sounds pretty solid, I doubt that would have any vibrations. You should check out some piers that have conduits in the concrete for cable management, it's what I've been looking at recently. Cheers
@@nightOwl404 yeah that’s a great idea, I’ll look a bit more into it. I’m just running the hyperstar for the first time, all I can say is wooooow 🫣 this thing is awesome 🤩
Nickel hyperstar c11…j’ai c11 hyperstar v3…je vais prendre la 071 mc..
Thanks for commenting, that’s great how do you like the hyperstar?
@@Learn_astrophotography fd: 2 avec hyperstar..!!. C’est rapide..!.
Hopefully you'll get some clear weather so you can put it through its paces!
I hope so too! Thanks 🙏
I just installed one on my Evolution 6
Thanks for commenting 👍Brilliant, how did you get on with that?
Wow! Thanks for responding. I got a Seestar in November of last year and decided I wanted something for planets. After doing a lot of research I decided on the Evolution 6. I’m 55 so I didn’t want to get something too big. Then my son and I who got his 1st scope a Nexstar 130slt took a trip down to Tucson my hometown from Phoenix about a 2 hour drive to have Dean check our scopes and dial them in. We got to talking and he asked if I knew about Hyperstar which I told him I did. We talked more and I bit the bullet and purchased a Hyperstar, Asi533MC Pro and an AsiAir Plus. He installed and calibrated my scope and went through some setup. What a Great bunch of folks there, plus they’re about to open their 3rd shop in Tucson. Just a little tidbit, all their signature products a made in-house and only the glass is out sourced and they have their products on board the ISS. Anyway Dean also installed the Antila Tri-Band Ultra RGB on the Hyperstar. I still have some learning to do but I’ll get there. Here is my 1st Orion shot with 10 sec exposures for about 30 minutes. Folks have said I’ll get bitten by aperture fever and get a 8se for my Evo mount, but the right circumstances would have to play out. Hopefully we can chat more.224948
When you come to shooting you are going to be out of balance as you had the dew shield cap on, the Eagle's Eye cap on and the Celestron guiders cap on
Thanks for your comment, I always do one last check on everything before setting up for a night of imaging, balance was looking really good last night, got my first light and it worked a treat ☺️ images are out on my next video 👍
@@Learn_astrophotography Looking forward to seeing them
My family has a celestron telescope
First of all, thank you Tom for this video. I have a Celestron 11 HD and I did as you did, so why does it appear that I have a very large cake?!! I tried with focuser electronics and it did not change the shape of the cake except a little bit?! Where is the error? This is what I want to know. Can you help me?
I have forgotten 😅 I owned 2600 MC DUO
Thanks for your comment. Ok so firstly make sure you’re out of focus. . With the 3 screws in the hyperstar loosing them all to the same length and then do half rotations until they are finger tight. With your asi studio run preview on continuous and see how the star looks hopefully like a donut with the hole in the centre, if it’s off that’s fine, get a pen or pencil and put over the corrector plate to identify where the bigger gap is on the out of focus star and slightly tighten, do this until your donut looking star is even. Just small adjustments, and take your time. I hope this helps. 🤞
I didn't mean that, Tom. I meant why when you install the HyperStar + Duo 2600 camera exactly as you did in this video, I see in Asir that the stars are very large (zoom). I was truly amazed!!! Would that be out of range!! Here what is the correct dimension measurement??? Is it 59.7 am, or is it more than that, 69 or 79? This is what really frustrated me. I don’t want to ask Starzona. I only want the professionals.
