HyperStar?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"hs-faq-a\"\u003eNo. The Standard Camera Adapter that ships with every HyperStar has an M42 threaded top that accepts one 2\" mounted filter — ideal for a broadband, dual-band or IR-cut filter with a one-shot color camera. The Filter Slider is a helpful upgrade for monochrome shooters or anyone wanting to change filters throughout your imaging session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"hs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat cameras does the included adapter work with?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"hs-faq-a\"\u003eThe Standard Camera Adapter is M42-threaded and pre-set for 17.5 mm backfocus — which covers most popular cooled astrocameras. If your camera needs a different thread size or backfocus, check out our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starizona.com\/products\/hyperstar-camera-adapter\" title=\"HyperStar Camera Adapter Page\"\u003eHyperStar Adapter page\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"hs-faq-q\"\u003eAre HyperStars hard to focus?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"hs-faq-a\"\u003eNot really. A Bahtinov mask, an autofocuser like the EAF,  or any software showing FWHM all work well. The fast f\/ratio does make backfocus more critical — which is why our adapters are machined with precise accuracy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"hs-faq-q\"\u003eWhat telescopes are compatible?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"hs-faq-a\"\u003eAny factory Fastar-compatible C11 SCT.

Often referred to as ‘light buckets’, Dobsonians provide users with the highest possible aperture for their money when compared to telescopes of a similar size, such as Schmidt-Cassegrains or refractors. Developed in the 1970s, the Dobsonian-style telescope is an inexpensive solution for bright, detailed visual observing using a simple design. The name ‘Dobsonian’ comes from the telescope’s inventor, John Dobson, a Vedanta monk who popularized sidewalk astronomy and dedicated his life to astronomy outreach. Dobson was well known for constructing large aperture reflecting telescopes capable of deep sky viewing, using low cost materials. These were often made with found materials, heavy cardboard tubes, recycled porthole glass, and plywood mounts. Dobson, who literally wrote the book on how and why to make amateur telescopes, encouraged other astronomers to assemble their own telescopes and taught workshops on telescope making.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Classic Dobsonian uses a parabolic primary mirror design, constructed of borosilicate, then polished and coated with our proprietary \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRadiant™ Aluminum Quartz (RAQ™)\u003c\/span\u003e producing a remarkable 94% reflectivity. With an 8-inch aperture, the Classic 200P Dobsonian is 816 times brighter than the human eye!

The base uses Teflon™ bearings for smooth, easy azimuth slewing and a patented tension control handle to lock the telescope in place.

Ranging from the standard 8 to a whopping 16 inches in diameter, Flextube SynScan Dobsonians are precision engineered instruments that will allow you to easily find and enjoy viewing night sky treasures such as planets and the Moon, nebulae, star clusters, galaxies and much more. With its patented collapsible tube design, these Dobsonians are truly the ultimate in portability and performance which is crucial when travelling to dark skies to make the most of these impressively large telescopes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe elegant truss tube design was carefully engineered to combine ease of use, extreme portability, and consistent performance in an affordable package. Unlike other truss tube designs, the Flextube Dobsonian does not need to be disassembled between uses. It transports as two compact pieces (optical tube and rocker box) that can be assembled and ready to use in just seconds! It is easy to collimate once set up, and it holds its collimation throughout the evening and even after being collapsed! The patented Tension Control Handle allows users to add or reduce tension, thereby increasing or decreasing the friction between the optical tube and the sideboards. The patented Freedom Find dual encoder design allows the telescope to be moved manually whenever the user wishes - but with no need for re-alignment!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SynScan hand controller allows you to point your telescope to a specific object, or even tour the best objects in the night sky at the touch of a button!!

target=\"_blank\"\u003e \u003c\/a\u003eStarizona's SCT Corrector has been an incredibly popular focal reducer and coma corrector, giving astrophotographers with standard Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes an improved optical system and wider field of view, with increased photographic speed. Starizona now offers a large-format version, the SCT Corrector LF, designed to cover full-frame (35mm format) sensors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SCT Corrector LF is designed for Celestron 11\" and 14\" standard SCTs. Designed to thread directly onto the large 3.29\" threads on the rear cell of C11 and C14 telescopes, the larger optical elements of the SCT Corrector LF minimize the vignetting over large sensors. Remaining vignetting over a large field is minimal and limited only by the telescope baffles, which are designed for a slower focal ratio; but this vignetting is easily removed by using flat field images. Sharpness is excellent over a 42mm diagonal, with spots sizes up to 9x smaller than the native telescope! The focal ratio is reduced to f\/7.2 on the C14 and f\/7 on the C11, for a speed increase of 2.1x and 1.9x, respectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SCT Corrector LF is designed to increase the available backfocus compared to Starizona's standard SCT Corrector. Backfocus is 146, accommodating a variety of accessories. The rear threads on the SCT Corrector LF are the same 3.29\" threads as on the rear cell of the C11 and C14 telescopes, so standard accessories are easily attached.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0327\/2569\/6648\/files\/SCT_LF_Spots.jpg?v=1612490688\" alt=\"\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbove:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eSpots sizes compared for a native C14 at f\/11 versus a C14 at f\/7.5 with the SCT Corrector LF.

Often referred to as ‘light buckets’, Dobsonians provide users with the highest possible aperture for their money when compared to telescopes of a similar size, such as Schmidt-Cassegrains or refractors. Developed in the 1970s, the Dobsonian-style telescope is an inexpensive solution for bright, detailed visual observing using a simple design. The name ‘Dobsonian’ comes from the telescope’s inventor, John Dobson, a Vedanta monk who popularized sidewalk astronomy and  dedicated his life to astronomy outreach. Dobson was well known for constructing large aperture reflecting telescopes capable of deep sky viewing, using low cost materials. These were often made with found materials, heavy cardboard tubes, recycled porthole glass, and plywood mounts. Dobson, who literally wrote the book on how and why to make amateur telescopes, encouraged other astronomers to assemble their own telescopes and taught workshops on telescope making.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Classic Dobsonian uses a parabolic primary mirror design, constructed of borosilicate, then polished and coated with our proprietary \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRadiant™ Aluminum Quartz (RAQ™)\u003c\/span\u003e, producing a remarkable 94% reflectivity. With a 6-inch aperture, the Classic 150P Dobsonian is 460 times brighter than the human eye! This simple yet effective design is perfect for visual observation of faint objects, such as nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSupporting the Classic Dobsonian is more than just a simple rocker box. The base uses Teflon™ bearings for smooth, easy azimuth slewing and a patented tension control handle to lock the telescope in place. Once locked on an object, the telescope can support both 1.25-inch accessories as well as the heavier 2-inch eyepieces, allowing you to use virtually any eyepiece on the market. The Classic Dobsonian includes two 1.25-inch eyepieces, a 1.25-inch adapter, a 2-inch eyepiece adapter, dust caps and a 6x30 finderscope.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt Sky-Watcher, we stay true to the traditional John Dobson design, using just two mirrors, a metal tube, and a simple rocker box.

The Nexus instead acts as a coma corrector and also provides a 0.75x focal reduction factor. This turns a common f\/4 Newtonian into an f\/3 system, giving a larger field of view and reducing exposure times by a factor of 1.8x.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Nexus incorporates extra-low dispersion (ED) glass in a sophisticated optical design that gives performance equal to the best coma correctors while decreasing, instead of increasing, the focal length. The Nexus is also designed to be parfocal, so it does not change the original focal point of the telescope. The corrected image circle is 28mm, accommodating camera sensors up to APS format. While nominally designed for the popular commercial f\/4 imaging Newtonians, the Nexus can work with Newtonians as fast at f\/3.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBackfocus requirement for the Nexus is 55mm, matching the common standard for most coma correctors, field flatteners and focal reducers. This distance allows for the use of DSLRs as well as mirrorless cameras and most astronomical CMOS and CCD cameras. The Nexus has M48 threads on the camera side. The barrel of the Nexus is a standard 2\" diameter to fit most focusers.

The Nexus preserves the original focus point of the telescope, so if the camera can reach focus without the Nexus it will reach focus with it. However, note that the Nexus (and most other coma correctors) require a 55mm backfocus. This means the camera has to be able to focus with that much backfocus. A CMOS camera that has a backfocus of 17.5mm, for example, might reach focus on a certain Newtonian but would not when the backfocus is extended to 55mm as required by a coma corrector. Most commercial f\/4 Newtonians are designed with plenty of backfocus for a coma corrector because they are intended for photography. But some slower Newtonians intended for visual use do not have enough backfocus for a coma corrector and camera.

Every address is unique and fully reproducible down to sub-arc second levels. This is not possible with any relative encoder system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRipple and Resonances – NOT with Astro-Physics!! \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eRelative encoders use a simple ring that has engraved marks with separations on the order of 60 to 100 arc seconds between ticks. In order to achieve sub-arc second resolution, the gaps between these marks are filled in electronically by a method known as interpolation. Even the best interpolation methods have errors on the order of 5% (3 to 5 arc seconds). When used in a telescope drive system these relative encoders introduce a fast moving ripple in the RA tracking rate of 3 to 5 arc seconds, although the average or RMS value of this error can be quite low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese peak excursions cause stars to move slightly back and forth in the RA direction during sidereal tracking. This tracking ripple can remain hidden when imaging with short wide-field scopes, but will manifest itself when using long focus instruments for high resolution work. It is generally a fast moving error, so it cannot be guided out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo Sub-divisional Error! \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eBecause of the ever present interpolation error (SDE) with low-cost relative encoders, we decided long ago that we would not use them for tracking. Renishaw absolute encoders use a different type of interpolation system that smooths out the SDE to a level that is not detectable. There is no mechanism for a relative encoder to remove the SDE.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNever Needs Homing.

This wavelength is critical for studying solar phenomena like prominences, filaments, sunspots, and solar flares in great detail. Unlike standard white-light telescopes, which capture the Sun's broad spectrum, Hα solar telescopes offer a window into specific solar activity in the chromosphere, a layer of the Sun's atmosphere located just above the photosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEtalon Filter Technology\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of most Hydrogen Alpha solar telescopes lies the etalon filter, a highly precise optical device that isolates the Hα wavelength from the rest of the Sun’s emitted light. An etalon is a type of interferometer, consisting of two parallel mirrors separated by a precise distance. The etalon works by reflecting light multiple times between the mirrors, selectively allowing only wavelengths that satisfy specific resonance conditions to pass through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the case of Hα solar telescopes, the etalon is designed to transmit light at the Hα wavelength while blocking all other wavelengths. The key to the etalon’s performance lies in its ability to tune the wavelength it transmits. This is achieved by adjusting the distance between the mirrors or by slightly tilting the etalon, which changes the interference conditions. This tunability is crucial because the Sun's emission at Hα can shift slightly due to Doppler effects as material moves across the Sun’s surface and atmosphere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two primary types of etalon filters used in solar telescopes: single etalon and double etalon systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSingle Etalon:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eA single etalon filter typically has a narrower bandwidth, providing high contrast for detailed solar observations but at the cost of limiting the field of view.
