Figure 24. M63, the Sunflower galaxy a self-guided image taken using the autoguider on

the Celestron Compustar 14 with a 0.75x focal reducer (f/8). The image data were aquired

on multiple nights from 2011-06-04 to 2011-06-20 using the author’s SBIG STL 11000M

CCD camera with Baader Planetarium LRGB filters. About 20 faint background galaxies

are visible in this image. Exposures: LRGB=152:48:48:52 minutes=5:00hours total

exposure.

Conclusion

Autoguiding has become the premier technique for obtaining high quality astrophotographs. It is

indeed fortunate that the designers of the Compustar had the foresight to include autoguiding

capability into the circuitry of the Compustar computer module, even though the concept was

still in its infancy at the time. Unfortunately, hardware to support the autoguiding feature on the

Compustars was never produced by Celestron and virtually all hardware that has since been

produced by any vendor is not compatible with the Compustar. This has left Compustar owners

under the assumption that if they want to autoguide their astrophotographs, they will have to

upgrade to a newer model of Go-To telescope that has conventional autoguiding capability. This

would be a tragedy considering how exceptional the Compustars are and how much their owners

treasure them. The Compustars are considered the most exclusive telescopes that have ever been
