Hi Ian

The “Generator” is a web based application where, for the simple version, you enter the details of your telescope aperture and focal length, followed by how thick you want the outer ring to be.

The “Generator” will then produce a “bahtinov.svg” file which you then save to your PC. “svg” stands for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) which is an XML specification and file format for describing two-dimensional vector graphics.

A program called Inkscape (a free and open source vector graphics editor application) can open .svg files and I know that CorelDraw12 now opens the .svg files from the “Generator”.

Cheers

Dennis
