Just received my Hyperstar 3 for the C11 today. So it's probably going to rain for the next 2 months at least...
Took a little while to clear customs but it's here now all in good order.
Just finished installing the conversion kit on the C11 corrector plate. It's a pretty cool system where you can clip on/off the secondary. The holder is all anodised aluminium too which is a plus compared to the old one that was plastic threads.
The Hyper star itself is fairly light. It's a huge lens. Nearly 100mm diameter on one end and 60mm on the other.
The QHY8 screws directly on it. There's also an internal thread to fit filters. I checked my Baader 2" filters and they all fit perfectly.
I'll collimate the whole thing tomorrow night and hopefully I can do some test shots this week-end. Looking forward to it now.
