Hi Dan
The Bahtinov is custom made. There was a chap i found on IIS that makes them. http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ov+classifieds
I wouldn't say that the mask is the solution to all your problems. The best success i had was focusing on a very bright star like Sirus or Antares, taking test shots, zooming and then refocusing a smig .... trial & error etc etc

i've already had many request to split up, but i'll contact those guys in order first, before readvertising

Would you consider splitting the camera off and selling the mask and perhaps the intervalometer separately?
