Bahtinov Mask

Hey guys, i made a bahtinov mask today and just tried it out on Sirius. I am so impressed with the results i just had to post a snapshot. I can't beleive i have waited this long to use one. I printed it out on plastic overhead film, reinforced the outer ring with a couple of layers of cardboard and then cut out the slots.

Yeah, they are the bomb. Until I can get my RoboFocus sorted out properly, the Bahtinov Mask and the Bat Grabber software, are my best friend.

Nicely done.

Yes I used mine (bought it - slack I know!) for the first time last night. Awesome. Hats off to the very clever Mr Bahtinov.
