I purchased a bahtinov mask for my Explorer 130M and it is amazing. The quality of the build is very good with it being strong and it also has a reflective sticker on so you remember to take it off. Once on, you can achieve pin-point focus for stars, planets or anything else. It is a must buy for around £15 depending on your telescope

I recently purchased a bahtinov mask for my 180 pro mak, my first impression was that Flo had sent me a tasty pizza! once i opened the box i found a VERY well made bat mask for my big mak, this really is a superb item, so easy and intuitive to use, i line up on betelguise to get focus pin sharp. Short and simple, less than £20 for perfect focus, it has to be worth it

I normally make my own Bahtinov masks and have found them to be very successful but with time being the enemy at the moment, I thought I'd treat myself to a ready made one. I'm delighted that I did too - the slots and 'lands' are finer than I'd dare make them using 'Blue Peter' methods and the unit is very professionally produced. The handy white reflective corner is a reminder that you've left the thing on your telescope which can save the embarrassment of spending the evening taking several hours worth of Bahtinov data ....
Nicely produced, sensibly priced and delivered promptly, I doubt I'll ever make another one myself.

Very well made bit of kit. Saturday, 7 May 2011  -  Andy

I have two of these masks. One for a 200mm reflector and one for an 80mm refractor. They are extremely well made and make focusing alot more quicker,easier and precise. 100% recommended.
