Description

I love imaging with the Hyperstar, the level of detail you can attain at f/2 is incredible. The drawback is getting it collimated properly. It seems no matter how carefully I collimate the Hyperstar and adjust the corrector plate, I cannot fix the elongated stars in the corners. This hobby can be frustrating at times.  Overall, I'm happy the way it turned out.
