Starizona Hyperstar C14EdgeHD with Filterslider

This version of the HyperStar lens includes the Starizona Filter Slider for easy use of multiple filters without removing the camera. The appropriate camera adapter is included (select under Options below).

This model includes the required adapter ring to fit the HyperStar lens to the EdgeHD model telescope. An additional adapter would be required to adapt this lens to an older (non-HD) telescope.

The HyperStar 14 system allows extremely fast, wide-field CCD imaging with the Celestron 14" SCT. The lens replaces the secondary mirror on 14" EdgeHD SCTs and turns the telescope into an f/1.9 imaging system!

The HyperStar 14 is compatible with a variety of cameras, including Canon, Nikon and Sony DLSRs, plus CCD cameras from Atik, Mallincam, QSI, SBIG, Starlight Xpress, ZWO and others.

Donald Rudny uses Starizona's HyperStar lenses for public outreach on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, and wrote us to tell about his experience: "We use two Hyperstar systems, one with a C14 EdgeHD and the other with a C6 Evolution. We have been using the Starlight Xpress Ultrastar recently for outreach with visitors, and the images have been superb. The visitors have been amazed with what we can achieved in near real time. The Hyperstar is the key in producing AP like images in short exposures. There's nothing faster at f/1.9."
