  • Starizona HyperStar 6 v3 Camera Adapter

    The Starizona HyperStar 6 v3 Camera Adapter provides the critical mechanical link between your camera and the HyperStar 6 v3 imaging system, precisely machined to achieve the standard 17.5mm backfocus required by many popular astronomy cameras.

    Precision Mounting for the HyperStar 6 v3 at 17.5mm

    This adapter is engineered exclusively for the HyperStar 6 v3, ensuring a secure, light-tight connection with no flexure. Standard versions are pre-set to achieve the correct 17.5mm backfocus distance, making it a simple, thread-on solution for a wide range of dedicated astronomy cameras with M42, M48, or M54 threads.

    Dedicated Adapters for Filter Sliders and Drawers

    For imagers using filter systems, Starizona offers specialized adapters designed to integrate seamlessly. These versions are machined to accommodate the specific backfocus requirements of accessories like the Starizona Modular Filter Slider or popular ZWO filter drawers.

    'Adapter Top Only': A Cost-Effective Upgrade Path

    If you upgrade your camera and only the attachment thread changes, you don't need to buy a whole new adapter. The 'Adapter Top Only' option is a replacement top for an existing standard HyperStar adapter, allowing you to switch between M42, M48, M54, or C-mount threads. This is an economical solution for imagers who use multiple cameras with the same backfocus but different mechanical interfaces.

  • Which Starizona HyperStar 6 v3 adapter do I need for my camera?

    The correct adapter depends on your camera's thread type and whether you are using a filter slider or drawer. For a direct connection, choose the standard adapter (M42, M48, or M54) that matches your camera. If you use a filter system, select the adapter specifically designed for that accessory to ensure correct backfocus.

    Can I use a DSLR camera with the Starizona HyperStar 6 v3 adapter?

    There are a few limitations with DSLR cameras. Mirrored DSLR adapters will not work on a HyperStar C6, and DSLR adapters are not compatible with the Filter Slider. Additionally, full-frame cameras cannot be attached to a HyperStar C6.

    What is the 'Adapter Top Only' option for the HyperStar 6 v3 adapter?

    The 'Adapter Top Only' is a replacement part that allows you to change the camera connection thread on your existing standard HyperStar 6 v3 adapter. For example, if you buy a new camera that uses M54 threads but your current adapter is M42, you can just buy the M54 top instead of an entire new adapter, saving cost.

    Is this adapter compatible with the HyperStar 6 v4?

    No. This adapter is designed specifically for the HyperStar 6 v3 only. HyperStar 6 v3 adapters are an exception to the general cross-compatibility between v3 and v4 HyperStar systems.
