Features and Highlights
- Fast Focal Ratio: The HyperStar 14" v4 lens converts the native f/11 focal ratio of the Celestron 14" Edge HD telescope to a much faster f/2, allowing for significantly shorter exposure times in astrophotography. This means you can capture more detail in a shorter amount of time
- Wide Field of View: It provides an exceptionally wide field of view, making it well-suited for capturing large celestial objects like galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters. This expansive view enables you to photograph extensive areas of the night sky in a single frame.

- Improved Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Its fast focal ratio allows for shorter exposure times, potentially leading to improved signal-to-noise ratio in astrophotography. This can result in clearer and more detailed images, especially in low-light conditions.
- Enhanced Deep-Sky Imaging: The HyperStar 14" v4 lens excels in capturing deep-sky objects like galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters due to its wide field of view and fast focal ratio. This capability allows you to photograph a wide range of celestial wonders with exceptional clarity and detail.
