Bahtinov Mask Diffraction Pattern Movie

Finally got around to getting a Bahtinov mask for the 300mm lens.

Tested it between the clouds. It is far more sensitive than checking test exposures at high magnification.

The 300mm lens is focussed by a stepper motor. One thousand steps is a movement of 0.12 mm of the focus ring.

Below is a movie going from focus in one thousand step increments to +6000 steps and back to -6000 steps.

Enjoy the movie.
