That means 25-times 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, giving a much wider field of view, and giving a greater tolerance of tracking errors, allowing for unguided, alt-az imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HyperStar 11 is compatible with a variety of cameras, including CCD, CMOS and DSLRs.
