How to Minimize Diffraction Spikes in Celestron RASA and SCT/HyperStar Telescopes

This video is a tutorial on how to wire your cables in the Celestron RASA or SCT+HyperStar combos to minimize diffraction spikes. In many optical systems, diffraction spikes are uniform, like in Newtonian Reflectors. In RASA or SCT/HyperStar telescopes, the wires don't produce uniform diffraction spilkes, causing stars to look a bit unnatural. Using a cable router you can correct this problem. I show how to install a cable router, as well as a few before and after images.
