Review on πŸ” MEOPTEX Bahtinov Mask: Perfect Focusing Solution for Telescopes (125mm-180mm Outer Diameter) by Flavio Scarola

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Sturdy, well built, good price, low weakness

The mask arrived today and is solid and well constructed. The edges were sharp and offered good contrast for sharp focus. The mounting screws were plastic-coated brass to protect the telescope's finish. The only problem I had was that one of the bolts had stripped and was not holding the telescope securely. The screw is cheap and pretty easy to replace but I have to. With that little adjustment, I would easily rate it five stars. Update: ALL mounting screws were broken. They weren't cleaned, they were the wrong size for their nuts and I had to replace them all. He was also an indispensable assistant to achieve accurate focusing in astrophotography.

Pros
  • Suitable for use with all types of telescopes - reflectors, refractors, Dobsonians, McKas and SCTs. They are made of strong and durable plexiglass reinforced by laser cutting. They will never break in the cold unlike some other regular plastic masks.
Cons
  • Very expensive
