C14 Hyperstar - Initial Tests

The following are just quickie tests, basically to assess whether the Hyperstar is a worthy instrument, competitive with a premium APO on an APS-sized sensor. It is, text beneath each image. For other stuff peruse my primary website http://www.samirkharusi.net/index.html

I am very impressed by your images! I am researching a new large aperture scope and had considered the NGT-18 (split-ring equitorial, f/4.5) and the CGE-1400. Your photos and the hyperstar seem to be a definite winner to me, especially as I will be mating my Canon 5D to the power of the 14" scope at f/2 and f/10!

Keep up the great work!

Wow! Very nice! But really, would you recommend that I adapt my C14" SCT to the Hyperstar configuration; it would mean to use the adapter supplied by Hyperstar since my C14" was not the one with the Fastar option.

Thank you, great website!! Great work.
