NexStar 11 Gps with HyperStar

My images were taken with a Celestron 11" Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. Deep-sky images were captured using Starizona's HyperStar lens system, which converts the scope to f/1.8. This configuration can be seen above where the camera is attached to the front of the telescope. This setup allows wide fields of view and fast exposure times. The telescope is completely automated, finding objects automatically. I also use a wireless autofocuser to focus the images. Images are captured directly to my laptop and then multiple exposures are stacked to enhance the detail. Credit must be given to my mentor Scott Tucker from Starizona.
