Last night I read about Celestron's Fastar assembly for some of their
8 and 14 inch S-C telescopes.
It changes the the focal ratio from f/11 to f/2, thus increasing the
field of view five-fold and reducing the exposure times during
imaging.

From the above, it sounds like a great combination to hunt for minor-
planets! What are the disadvantages of this setup?Thanks
I tested and reviewed the 8" Fastar at
