Bahtinov masks

[Bart]

There used to be someone that made Bahtinov masks here. Does any one know if I can get one made still or is it best I order from one of the Astro shops?

The guy you're thinking of is Meru
Having had a few made by him, they're pretty good

You can google Bahtinov Mask. Find and download a printable copy for your scope's aperture, and make your own. I glued 2 sheets of thick black paper together then glued the pattern to it. I used a hobby knife and a steel ruler to cut it out. It will take time and care but it's worth it.

Thanks for that. Made my own a couple of times, I don't have the patience.

I've had large ones cut from 3-4mm MDF by ozstockman - very reasonable prices and very accomodating of some requests to help me with another project.

I've also had some 3D printed by Stefan Buda for an FS-60 and camera lenses - again very reasonable prices and excellent quality.

Yep, Meru is the guy. He has an ad in the Accessories section of the IIS classifieds - "Your parts 3D printed".
