  • HyperStar Conversion Gasket for Celestron SCTs

    This Sorbothane gasket is an essential component for any HyperStar user looking to retrofit a factory-installed Fastar secondary assembly. Its purpose is to prevent the entire secondary housing from slipping or rotating when you switch between your secondary mirror and a HyperStar lens, ensuring a secure and repeatable connection every time you reconfigure your Celestron SCT for imaging.

    Sorbothane Gasket: Securing Your Fastar Secondary Assembly

    When converting a Fastar-compatible telescope for f/2 imaging, you repeatedly remove the secondary mirror and install the HyperStar lens. Over time, this process can cause the factory secondary holder to lose its grip. This gasket provides the necessary friction to create a non-slip interface between the components.

    By installing this Sorbothane gasket, you add a layer of stability to the system. It ensures that neither the HyperStar lens nor the original secondary mirror will inadvertently shift or rotate during installation or removal, which is critical for maintaining consistent alignment and focus between observing sessions.

  • What is the purpose of the HyperStar Conversion Gasket?

    This is a Sorbothane gasket used to retrofit a factory-installed Fastar secondary assembly on a Celestron SCT. It provides additional friction to prevent the assembly from slipping or rotating when you switch between the standard secondary mirror and a HyperStar imaging lens.

    Is this gasket needed for all Fastar-compatible telescopes?

    This gasket is specifically described as useful for retrofitting a factory-installed Fastar secondary assembly. It addresses potential slipping that can occur from the repeated removal and installation of the secondary mirror and HyperStar lens, making it a valuable upgrade for ensuring mechanical stability.
