hyperstar 3 will make your faststar compatible 9.25 into a very fast imaging setup, something like f2.5.

you`ll still need to guide with something else, but if your polar alignment is very good you might not need to guide as the scope will be so fast. upto a minute should be do able unguided with a good mount.

if you guide with a oag it will not speed up the scope and might be tricky trying to guide a 2.5 meter focal length scope in that way

I see you have the CPC925.

1. What kind of imaging do you want to do? Planetary or DSO?

2. What kind of camera do you have?

For DSO work you will need a wedge for the CPC925. Which is another 350 or so cut out of Your Budget.

For planetary using Hyperstar is completely pointless, as you want to increase the focal length, instead of decreasing it.

I just had this delivered from FLO Celestron OAG with a heap of extenders, show here with the Celestron 6.3f FR

[GuillermoBarrancos]

That is definetely the easiest way to go. Nice pic.

Thinking about a Hyperstar set-up, the CDD camera goes in the centre at the front so the Visual back would be blanked off, so any guiding would need a second scope something like a ST-80, well that's how i think its set-up....

Lodestar is the guide camera,  just need some clear sky to set it up balanced ect, the extension is a Moonlight 2" and sits nicely in a Baader Click-Lock, this should allow for a quick change from DSLR to EP....
