Another Hyperstar user :) On a C14 you have a great piece of kit there!! I use the software CCDInspector to occasionally collimate the Hyperstar - it's quite an expensive piece of software, but it is totally invaluable for collimating the HIII (and it's quick too :) Greg Great stuff!

Is that a Hyperstar III that you are using? On which 'scope? Greg Well that result with a 45nm bandwidth filter looks pretty good. Is that a Hyperstar III that you are using? On which ‘scope?

Im no longer getting the bloating stars that I had, using the 12nm filter and early tests have been pretty positive. I took this image under pretty awful conditions, full moon, windy and hazy with a DSLR. but still achieved ok results. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3825529691_d431637861_o.jpg Im looking forward to trying it out some more over the coming weeks.
