Thanks Sandy

It's just me, the DSLR, a tripod and the mask.

I use a mask on my ED80 with no problems at all. It sits at the end of the dew shield - so, a good few inches from the lens of the scope.

I've made up a little shield to hold the mask an inch or so from the DSLR lens figuring it needs a gap between the lens and the mask in the same way the scope works.

All I get is the baht mask lines on the star instead of the 3 rays to aid focussing.

Then I tried the mask directly on the lens with the same results.

???

cheers

Niko
