About this product

Model:  starizona_hs4_6_sct
Part Number:  HS4-C6

The HyperStar 6 V4 lens converts a standard Celestron 6" SCT from f/10 to f/2, making the system 25x faster! 

That means 25x shorter exposures! 

Now you can capture deep-sky images without guiding and without an equatorial wedge (in alt-az configuration). 

The HyperStar lens shortens the focal length of the telescope, providing a much wider field of view and greater tolerance of tracking errors, enabling unguided, alt-az imaging. 

The HyperStar 6 is compatible with a variety of cameras, including CCD, CMOS and DSLRs. 

FLO supplies as standard the ZWO Cooled (Pro) Adaptors that work with ZWO Cameras with 17.5mm Back Focus Distance, however adaptors for other cameras are available upon request including Starizona's range of Variable M42 (T ) Adaptors.

The HyperStar 6 covers up to a 28mm sensor size. Separate adapters are required for different cameras. One adapter is included with the HyperStar lens.

FAQs

Do I need the Filter Slider to use Filters with the HyperStar?

No, the standard camera adapter that comes with the HyperStar allows the use of one 2” mounted filter. This is ideal for light pollution or IR/Cut filters when using a one-shot colour camera. Although, the Filter Slider is ideal for quick filter changes when using a monochrome camera.

Is a HyperStar hard to focus?

HyperStars are no more difficult to focus than any other optical system. HyperStars can be accurately focused with Bahtinov Masks, AutoFocusers (ie MicroTouch Autofocuser), and any software that displays a Full-Width Half-Max star value. Although, the fast F/Ratio does make the camera’s backfocus much more critical. This is why the HyperStar camera adapters need to be precisely within +- .5mm of the camera’s backfocus.

Why do I need to specify my mount type?

We ask for the mount type to determine if you’ll need a counterweight shipped with your HyperStar or not. GEM mounts can accommodate the balance of the HyperStar by shifting the scope forward or backwards on the mount, whereas Fork Mounted telescopes can’t move on the mount and require a counterweight.

Starizona Hyperstar 6 v4
29 March 2023  | 

It arrived in good time as usual with First Light Optics, As yet I have been unable to use it due to the awful weather we have had recently. Everything fitted OK. I am expecting some good results when the weather improves which I'm sur it will.
