Capture images of the night sky with extraordinary speed using the HyperStar 4! Add the HyperStar 4 to your Celestron 8" EdgeHD telescope and you can take exposures as fast as f/1.9 with a 4.1° field of view! The HyperStar C8HD is compatible with many major astronomical cameras, including cameras from Meade, Orion, Atik, SBIG, Mallincam, Starlight Xpress, and many more. To order your HyperStarC8, select your camera from the drop-down above and we will send you the proper camera adapter. If your camera is not on the list, please write it into the field provided. It is also important that you give us your secondary housing and the mount style you plan to use with the Hyperstar. In this way, we can make sure you hit the ground running!
Based off of Celestron's revolutionary Fastar technology, the HyperStar C8HD Starizona HyperStar works in the place of your Celestron SCT's secondary mirror. Simply remove the secondary mirror on the C8 and mount the HyperStar lens assembly in its place. This allows you to mount a CCD camera at the front of the telescope. This results in significantly faster imaging and a wider field of view.
Switching between HyperStar System to the telescope's normal f/10 configuration is simple, easy and requires no tools. No re-collimation is necessary because the telescope's secondary mirror is indexed. Learn how to install your HyperStar in the comprehensive video below!
