Does anyone know if new
      #53413 - 02/11/04 02:35 PM

Celestron's Advanced series SCTs (C8 & C9.25) are Fastar compatible? Their website, when linked to the appropriate accesories page, doesn't show them, but does for the CGE series. Thanks.

None of the 9.25" tubes are Fastar compatible. The Nexstar 8 isn't, and the CGE and Nexstar GPS are. That doesn't answer your question, but the ASC is the only one I haven't seen!

I think I read that the ASC isn't, but someone more knowledgeable will surely pop in.

I believe I read that the 8" and 1" are fastar compatible but the 9.25" is not.

Here is a list of the Fastar models:
Nexstar 8 GPS
Nexstar 11GPS

CGE 8
CGE 11
CGE 14

None of the ASC series or Nexstar 8i versions are Fastar compatible. Nor are any of the 9.25" OTA's.
