Yes I have seen numerous pictures taken with fastar/hyperstar systems. What I am particularly interested in is wide aperture along with short focal length to capture the very faint stuff. 11" at 504mm FL is bound to do some serious damage.
As I already had a C11 it made sense to invest in an Hyperstar. You don't see many pics taken with it around here, that's for sure, but I hope it's going to change and everyone with an SCT will eventually jump on the band wagon.

I too eagerly await what Marc can do with his Hyperstar C11..

Removing the corrector plate and re-fitting it is not a big deal but I understand your reticence doing it on a $5k scope. I reckon you'll get one too soon though .
