Bahtinov mask not working.
I printed a mask off from an online mask generator onto clear projector paper and used it on Jupiter for practice.
As you can see, image 1 is slightly out of focus as the central spike is high.
Image 2 is focused as the spike is centred.
Funny thing is, it works in theory, but when I take the mask off and take an exposure, the stars are not sharp. Why would that be I wonder?
The mask is taped to the very front of the dew shield on the ED120. Photos are very short exposure with the Orion Starshoot Pro
For focusing, I think I will need to stick to the numbers game in MaxIm for now. I get perfect focus every time this way. It takes a bit longer, but at least it's right.
Baz.
