Celestron C14" EdgeHD/HyperStar + Stellarvue SVQ100

Description

The Celestron C14" EdgeHD/HyperStar used a ZWO ASI1600M-C camera with 5 station filter wheel. The piggy-back Stellarvue SVQ100 also had a ZWO ASI1600M-C camera with 8 station filter wheel. The C14/HyperStar with its f/1.9 fast optics is wonderful for collecting light, and the C14" is big enough that the central obstruction of the 5 station filter wheel and camera are not overly onerous.

However, it has been replaced with my current rig: Tele Vue NP127is with Starlight XPress SXV AO LF with Lodestar X2 guide camera. I don't think I ever got the C14 really well collimated so I was not really satisfied with the images I was getting from it. I will post some of them.

See Image B and C for a close up of the camera end of the C14.
