Starizona HyperStar C6 V4
It's little, it's cute, but it performs just like its big brothers! The Starizona HyperStar C6 V3 is a perfect match to one-shot color cameras. Capture up to a 2.2-degree field of view at an amazingly fast f/1.9!
Ordering the HyperStar just got easier.
1- HyperStars now include a Standard Camera Adapter
We are now pre-packaging HyperStars with the most common camera adapter on the market. We call this our Standard Camera Adapter.
The Standard Camera Adapter accepts a single 2” mounted M48 filter and works with cameras that have M42 threads and 17.5mm backfocus. These will be included and pre-packed with the HyperStar even if you are purchasing another camera adapter or upgrading to the Starizona Filter Slider.

2- HyperStar Filter Slider Upgrades are sold separately and include more
For those who want easier filter changes or need larger camera threads, the Starizona HyperStar Filter Slider Upgrade is now available as a separate add-on package.
This upgrade includes the Starizona Filter Slider along with multiple threaded top plates, giving customers more flexibility for different camera setups. It is especially useful for cameras that require M54 threads, while still providing the convenience of a removable 2" filter drawer.
HyperStar 6
The HyperStar 6 replaces the secondary mirror of any Celestron C6 SCT and transforms it from a f/10 planetary scope into a f/1.9 imaging powerhouse — 25× faster, with a coma-free field over 4° wide. No guiding, no equatorial wedge required.
Camera Compatibility
The Standard Camera Adapter included with every HyperStar 6 has an M42 threaded top and is pre-set for cameras with 17.5 mm of backfocus and accepts 2" mounted M48 Filters.
Filter Slider Upgrade
Swap your choice of narrowband or broadband filters at the focal plane without ever touching the camera. Comes with both M42M and M54M swappable top plates and ready for cameras with 17.5mm of backfocus.
Thread A : M42 male
Thread B : M54 male

FAQ
Do I need the Filter Slider to use filters with the HyperStar?
No. The Standard Camera Adapter that ships with every HyperStar has an M42 threaded top that accepts one 2" mounted filter — ideal for a broadband, dual-band or IR-cut filter with a one-shot color camera. The Filter Slider is a helpful upgrade for monochrome shooters or anyone wanting to change filters throughout your imaging session.
What cameras does the included adapter work with?
The Standard Camera Adapter is M42-threaded and pre-set for 17.5 mm backfocus — which covers most popular cooled astrocameras. If your camera needs a different thread size or backfocus, check out our HyperStar Adapter page.
Are HyperStars hard to focus?
Not really. A Bahtinov mask, an autofocuser like the EAF, or any software showing FWHM all work well. The fast f/ratio does make backfocus more critical — which is why our adapters are machined with precise accuracy.
Will I need spacers for correct backfocus?
No. Every HyperStar ships with the correct adapter already set to the right backfocus. Install the HyperStar, attach your camera, and start imaging.
