In the April 2009 article “With HyperStar, you’ll image more in less time,” world-renowned Canadian astroimager Jack Newton shared his results using Starizona’s HyperStar lens system. But the HyperStar isn’t the only equipment Newton can employ to produce spectacular photos. A frequent contributor to Astronomy, Newton is recognized worldwide for his astrophotography.
