Starizona HyperStar 9.25-Inches Version 4 Lens

Presenting the HyperStar 9.25 lens redefines the capabilities of a standard Celestron 9.25" SCT, elevating its focal ratio from f/10 to a remarkable f/2.2 - an astonishing 25-fold speed increase!

This transformative enhancement translates into exposures that are 25 times shorter, enabling profound convenience for deep-sky imaging without the need for guiding or an equatorial wedge, even in alt-azimuth telescope setups.

By effectively shortening the telescope's focal length, the HyperStar lens grants you a significantly broader field of view and increased tolerance for tracking errors, allowing you to delve into the world of unguided, alt-azimuth astrophotography with ease.

Compatibility extends to a wide array of cameras, encompassing CCD, CMOS, and DSLRs.

The HyperStar 9.25 accommodates sensors up to 28mm in size, offering flexibility for diverse imaging configurations.

While distinct camera models may require specific adapters, Starizona thoughtfully includes one adapter with the HyperStar lens to facilitate your imaging journey.

The lens's optical performance is nothing short of exceptional, boasting a coma-free, flat field of view that extends up to a sweeping 3 degrees in width.

This delivers razor-sharp, distortion-free imagery across a wide expanse of the night sky, enabling you to capture celestial wonders with unmatched clarity and precision.

 


Features and Highlights

  • Fast Focal Ratio Transformation: The Starizona HyperStar 9.25" v4 Lens is engineered to work in conjunction with Celestron 9.25" Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes. It revolutionizes the native f/10 focal ratio, accelerating it to a remarkable f/2.2. This represents a 25-fold increase in speed, allowing for dramatically shorter exposure times in astrophotography. 
  • Game-Changing Exposure Times: The accelerated focal ratio of f/2.2 translates to exposures that are 25 times shorter compared to the original f/10 configuration. This revolutionary feature empowers astrophotographers to capture stunning deep-sky images without the need for guiding or an equatorial wedge, even in alt-azimuth telescope setups.
  • Wider Field of View: The HyperStar lens effectively shortens the focal length of the telescope, resulting in a significantly broader field of view. This expansive view enables you to capture extensive areas of the night sky in a single frame, ideal for imaging large celestial objects like galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters.
  • Enhanced Tolerance for Tracking Errors: In addition to the broader field of view, the modified focal length provides a greater tolerance for tracking errors. This means that unguided, alt-azimuth imaging becomes more achievable and user-friendly, simplifying the imaging process and reducing the need for complex tracking equipment.
  • Compatibility with Various Cameras: The HyperStar 9.25" v4 lens is designed to work with a wide range of cameras, including CCD, CMOS, and DSLR cameras. This versatility ensures that you can use the camera that best suits your preferences and equipment. The lens accommodates sensors up to 28mm in size, offering flexibility for different imaging setups.
  • Included Adapter for Convenience: While different cameras may require specific adapters, Starizona includes one adapter with the HyperStar lens to get you started. This considerate addition enhances user convenience and ensures compatibility with a variety of imaging devices.
  • Exceptional Optical Performance: The HyperStar 9.25" v4 lens is engineered with precision optics to maintain high image quality and reduce optical aberrations, even at the fast f/2.2 focal ratio. This ensures that your images are sharp, clear, and free from distortions, allowing you to capture fine details in celestial objects with exceptional clarity.
  • Durable Construction for Longevity: Crafted from premium materials, the lens boasts a robust construction that guarantees both durability and longevity. This sturdiness enables it to thrive under the rigors of astrophotography, delivering unwavering performance throughout its lifespan.
  • Made in USA: The Starizona HyperStar 9.25" v4 Lens proudly originates from American manufacturing, exemplifying a dedicated commitment to producing premium astronomy equipment on U.S. soil. This domestic production underscores the high standards of craftsmanship associated with products made in the USA, ensuring users have confidence in the lens's quality and reliability.
