Description of 🔍 MEOPTEX Bahtinov Mask: Perfect Focusing Solution for Telescopes (125mm-180mm Outer Diameter)

Bahtinov masks take the guesswork out of focusing and even get over the seeing conditions as it is a mathematical type approach to the task.The best focus for your telescope quickly and easily. Suitable for use on all types of telescope - reflectors, rafractors, Dobsonians, Mak-Cas and SCTs. They are made from precision laser cut enforced plexiglass, which is stiff and long lasting. They will never be brittle in the cold, unlike some other masks which are made from normal plastics. The masks grip the telescope tube gently but firmly with three metal posts which have non-scratching silicon sleeves to protect you valued telescope surface. This prevents slippage, whilst allowing the mask to remaining perfectly central. Because of this 3-post mounting, the mask remains centered, whilst fitting a wider range of telescopes. They are made from 2mm thick laser cut plexiglass and the securing screws are capped with soft plastic so that they do not damage your telescope.These high quality Bahtinov masks are adjustable to fit a wide range of optical tubes, unlike masks which are only able to fit one telescope. They have adjustment latitude of about 290-340mm, depending on model, in aperture making them very versatile. Please be assured that these focusing masks will work excellently for both reflectors and refractors with whatever focal length. All you need to do is to measure your telescope tube size and choose the right size of the mask (contact us if you are not sure where to measure).

Missing screws.twice.

I got my first one but the screws were missing. They sent another one and yes the screws were missing. Time to look elsewhere.

Pros
  • Rest assured that these focusing masks work great with both reflectors and refractors of any focal length. All you have to do is measure the size of your telescope tube and choose the right mask size (contact us if you don't know where to measure).
Cons
  • Not sure

They arrived with a crack near the screw mount

I had to return the Batinof mask as it arrived cracked. After careful consideration, I don't think this item will last very long. The shipping box was undamaged, but the mask had cracks. Seems pretty thin.

Pros
  • . They are made from 2mm thick laser cut plexiglass and the mounting screws are covered in soft plastic to avoid damaging the telescope. These high quality Bakhtinov masks are adjustable to fit a variety of optical tubes. , unlike masks that are only suitable for a telescope. Depending on the model, they have an adjustment range of approx. 290-340mm in the aperture and are therefore very versatile.
Cons
  • Only available in black

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…

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
