Unlock the SPEED of your Celestron SCT telescope with the FunStar! The FunStar is an adapter for Fastar compatible Celestron SCT telescopes that allows you to place the Revolution Imager in the secondary mirror position of your SCT telescope allowing you to use the telescope at an amazing focal ratio of f/2, this gives you the widest possible views and the lowest exposure times! And the best part? The price, only $79.99 for 5", 6" and 8" models. 

Installation is quick and easy, simply unscrew the secondary mirror from your Celestron SCT telescope, install the FunStar in its place, insert your Revolution Imager and you're ready to experience those wide summer nebulas, large galaxy groups, huge open clusters and even the full disk of the moon!

The FunStar provides a standard 1.25" opening and SCT threads for a huge variety of adapter combinations.  Also, the 8", 9.25" and 11" adapters will be threaded on the inside for 2" filters. 

Please note: The FunStar does not provide any correction, so some abberations will be present. However, the small chip-size in the Revolution Imager makes these abberations minimal.

Andrew S. ★★★★★

Cut my imaging time in half compared to shooting at f/10, and the adapter threaded on smoothly without any wobble. The Revolution Imager now reaches fainter nebulae in just 30-second exposures.

Nicholas G. ★★★★★

Setting this adapter up was surprisingly easy, and now I’m capturing clearer frames in half the time with my Revolution Imager. The second-position placement really does unlock the speed for deep-sky shots.

Ryan C. ★★★★★

I was worried my Celestron SCT would be too slow for astrophotography, but this adapter really did open up that second focal plane—first night out, I was getting crisp shots in half the exposure time.
