I have a C11 en route which I would like to use for imaging. The Hyperstar offering from Starizona looks very interesting, but I see very little reference to it in the forums. Are there inherent problems with this set-up? As well, it seems the best camera match-up would be the cylindrical models from Starlight Xpress to minimize visual interference. However, these products do not seem to enjoy the same following as SBIG's prodcuts. Any thoughts on camera choices, either with Hyperstar or not?
Many thanks,
Alex

Hi,
Some have suggested keeping your visual hardware and photography hardware seperate (i.e. one scope for each). I think otherwise, its a good system, especially with the new hyperstar 3 system, due to come out in the next 6 months.
