Bahtinov Mask

[Stargazer Jack]

Hi everyone, I was looking at first light optics the other for a Bahtinov mask for my telescope however they don't seem to do the size. Is there a website/company who specially makes them for your telescope? I know you can make it your self but I would prefer it to be out of plastic with all the holes in the correct places. Thanks in advance

This?

Seems to be about the going rate.

There is a guy on Ebay that will make one for you, but have you tried emailing FLO and asking them if they have one that will work with your scope?

Keith from Morris-Engraving makes these. You can get them via FLO, his e-bay listings or contact him via his website StarSharp

They are an essential bit of kit to get sharp focused images.

Mine is the 900mm focal length one James which I don't know if it makes a big difference. I was going to contact FLO after this but thought I better check before

Thanks Malc-c will have a look

Focal length does make a difference, afair.

I wonder if this one is the right one:

It says it's for the 130P, but as far as I can see the 130P is the shorter 650mm one.

That's the right one, thanks for that

I love my Bahtinov mask - I used to focus with liveview zoomed at 10x, but the mask makes my job 100 times easier and gets perfect results every time - an essential piece of kit!

DItto this post. FLO and Morris Engraving are tip top. I have two of their custom masks.
