Celestron C11 EdgeHD hyperstar vs Hubble

Note: I mentioned the price of my setup as $3500 USD in the video. I buy most of my equipment used and often wait many years until I see a phenomenal deal. So that was what I paid, not retail price. Retail price would be higher and retail prices for some of the equipment have gone up over 200% in the last few years. That said, I can get a VERY similar picture with $3500 USD of new equipment at retail prices today. In fact, I did get a very similar image with my old 8" reflector which was about $500 USD retail for the tube (compared to $4400 USD that the C11 EdgeHD costs at retail price now) so dedication, experience, and lots of exposure time are MUCH more important than what equipment you use (within reason as you won&get an image like this with an 80mm refractor).
