That was the big motivation I had to try the racquet idea in the first place. More light through means it can work on dimmer stars. After using one for a while I find I don't need to adjust camera settings to view the diffraction spikes, so checking focus is a snap. Throw the mask on, check focus, adjust if necessary and then take the shot without adjusting settings.
