  • Starizona HyperStar 9.25/11 Camera Adapter

    This Starizona HyperStar 9.25/11 Camera Adapter provides a secure, precise connection between your imaging camera and the v3 or v4 HyperStar lens system. The standard adapters are engineered for the common 17.5mm backfocus distance found on many dedicated astronomy cameras. Specific versions are available to accommodate filter systems, including adapters for third-party 20mm and 21mm thick filter drawers.

    The 17.5mm Standard: Direct Camera Attachment

    For the most direct imaging train, the standard adapters connect your camera straight to the HyperStar lens. These non-filtering adapters are preset to achieve correct spacing with any camera that has a 17.5mm backfocus. With options for M42, M48, and M54 threads, you can match the adapter to your camera's specific connection for a rigid, flexure-free setup optimized for the fast optics of the HyperStar 9.25/11 system.

    Filter Integration: Adapters for 20mm and 21mm Filter Systems

    To incorporate filters into your HyperStar imaging, Starizona offers several dedicated adapters. One option is designed for the Modular Filter Slider (sold separately), allowing for quick filter changes. Alternatively, specific adapters are available to accommodate third-party filter drawers, such as the common 21mm thick M42/M48 drawers or 20mm thick M54 drawers. Even when using a filter drawer, these adapters are designed to work with a camera that has a 17.5mm backfocus, preserving the critical spacing for a sharp, flat field.

    Adapter Tops: Swap M42, M48, or M54 Threads

    If you upgrade your camera, you don't necessarily need to buy a completely new adapter. The "Adapter Top Only" is a replacement part that lets you change the thread type of an existing standard HyperStar adapter. For example, if you move from a camera with M42 threads to one with M54 threads, but both share the same backfocus, you can simply swap the top. This provides a cost-effective way to adapt your setup as your equipment evolves.

  • What backfocus does my camera need for the standard Starizona HyperStar 9.25/11 adapter?

    The standard adapters are designed for cameras that have 17.5mm of backfocus. This is a common specification for many ZWO, QHY, and other dedicated astronomy cameras.

    Can I use a ZWO 21mm filter drawer with the Starizona HyperStar 9.25/11 adapter?

    Yes, but you must select the specific "M42 21mm Filter Drawer" adapter. This adapter is designed to integrate with common 21mm thick M42 or M48 filter drawers while maintaining the correct spacing for a camera with 17.5mm of backfocus.

    I'm upgrading my camera from M42 to M54 threads. Do I need a whole new Starizona HyperStar 9.25/11 adapter?

    No. If your new camera still has the same backfocus as your old one, you can purchase the "Adapter Top Only - M54". This allows you to replace just the threaded portion of your existing standard adapter, saving the cost of a full replacement.

    Does the "Modular Filter Slider" adapter for the HyperStar 9.25/11 include the filter slider itself?

    No. The Modular Filter Slider adapter provides the correct spacing and attachment for the Starizona Filter Slider, but the Filter Slider itself must be purchased separately.
