This images were the first made with the New Hyperstar on my C14.
To eliminate the ugly spikes introduced by the cables of the CCD camera i built a device which keeps the cabling precisely in a way that
ALL SPIKES are eliminated!
In addition i used right angle plugs for the power and USB cable. The original cables of the QHY8 also introduce spikes
