  • Starizona HyperStar 14 Camera Adapter

    The Starizona HyperStar 14 Camera Adapter provides the critical mechanical connection between your camera and the HyperStar 14 imaging system for both v3 and v4 models. These adapters are precisely machined to set the correct spacing for cameras requiring 17.5mm of back focus. With options for standard M42, M48, and M54 threads, you can achieve a secure, rigid attachment for a wide range of dedicated astronomy cameras.

    Standard Adapters for 17.5mm Back Focus Cameras

    The standard Starizona HyperStar 14 adapter is the most direct solution for attaching a camera with 17.5mm of back focus, a common standard for many ZWO, QHY, and other CMOS/CCD cameras. Simply choose the adapter with the thread—M42, M48, or M54—that matches your camera's optical window or included extension rings. This single-piece solution ensures perfect sensor placement for sharp, focused stars across the entire ultra-fast focal ratio of the HyperStar 14 system.

    Integrating Filters: Adapters for 20mm & 21mm Drawers

    For imagers who need to use filters, Starizona offers specialized HyperStar 14 adapters designed to accommodate third-party filter drawers. These versions maintain the critical 17.5mm camera back focus while adding the correct spacing for either a 20mm thick M54 filter drawer or a 21mm thick M42/M48 filter drawer. This allows you to easily swap between LRGB, narrowband, or light pollution filters without upsetting the sensitive optical alignment of the HyperStar system.

    Modular Adapter Tops: Swap M42, M48 & M54 Threads

    If you use multiple cameras with different thread sizes but the same 17.5mm back focus, the "Adapter Top Only" option is an economical choice. Instead of buying a complete second adapter, you can simply unthread the top of your existing standard HyperStar 14 adapter and replace it with a new top. This allows you to switch from an M42 camera to an M54 camera, for example, in seconds, saving both cost and storage space in your accessory case.

  • What camera back focus is the standard Starizona HyperStar 14 adapter designed for?

    All standard Starizona HyperStar 14 camera adapters are pre-set for cameras that have a native back focus of 17.5mm. This is a common specification for many popular astronomy cameras.

    Can I use a third-party 21mm filter drawer with my HyperStar 14?

    Yes, but you must use the specific Starizona HyperStar 14 Camera Adapter for 21mm Filter Drawers. This adapter is designed to add the correct physical spacing for a 21mm thick M42 or M48 filter drawer while maintaining the required 17.5mm back focus for your camera.

    What is the purpose of the "Adapter Top Only" for the HyperStar 14?

    The "Adapter Top Only" is a replacement part that lets you change the camera thread on your existing standard HyperStar 14 adapter. If you buy a new camera that has the same 17.5mm back focus but a different thread (e.g., moving from M42 to M54), you can just swap the top instead of buying a whole new adapter.

    Will this HyperStar 14 adapter work on a v3 HyperStar?

    Yes, all Starizona HyperStar 14 camera adapters are compatible with both v3 and v4 versions of the HyperStar 14 imaging system.
