Subject: any current SCTs FASTAR compatible?

Does anyone (I'm looking at you, *Rod* <g >) know if any of the current
crop of SCTs is capable of working in a FASTAR or FASTAR-like config?

Hi Brian:
I believe you can still get a "custom" Fastar-secondary scope from
Starizona (haven't checked there lately). My NS11 has this feature,
but, I must admit, the only times I've used it have been for other
reasons (like providing an easy way to remove errant bugs from the
interior of the OTA). ;-)
Peace,
Rod Mollise

Brian,
An associate who I image with regularly has a newish 8 inch carbon SCT
with the Starzona widget that makes it an f/2 camera. He uses it with an
SXHV9
Regards
Bill
