Bahtinov Grabber focusing software

[HunterGeo (David)]

Hello, all,

I recently found Niels Noordhoek's 'Bahtinov Grabber' software (which I was planning on using to focus my telescope for astrophotography).

My Bahtinov mask arrived in the mail on Friday, and I just went to Niels' website and the entire website is now offline. (It has been replaced by the stock-standard 'this guy's hosting has expired so we're just gonna put advertising here for any unfortunate sod who happens to come here' webpage).

Bottom line: does anyone have the Bahtinov Grabber installer program they can send me, please?

Thanks in advance,
Dave.

Actually Niels passed away recently IIRC (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ad.php?t=99030) - I'll look for the software and PM you if I can find it

HTH
Cheers
Bill

Hi Bill,

Thanks for your message and I am saddened to hear of Niels' passing; it is apparent from George's comments (in that thread you linked to) that Niels was invaluable to the field of astronomy.

Thank you for whatever you may be able to find; an extensive Googling couldn't find it.

All the best,
David

I have a copy of Niels Noordhoek's 'Bahtinov Grabber' (great Program) Send me a PM and with your E-Mail and I would be more than happy to send it to you.. Can't attach it to this site as it is the wrong file format..

Hope this helps..

Regards
Mardy
