Hi Steve
With the x4 PowerMate, when I defocus Sirius just inside and then outside of focus, I see nice concentric rings either side, once the tube currents have died down.
I’ll confess up front that I’m no optics genius,

but I once saw a photo of pinched optics in a book and I think the diffraction patterns were more like rounded triangles?
Cheers
Dennis
