Select a bright star as your guiding object. Place the Bahtinov focusing mask on your telescope's lens and secure it into place using the rubber tabs. The slits in the mask design create a set of diffraction spikes on the star that will assist in the accuracy of your focus. It will appear on your screen or computer as an \"X\" with a line through the center (when in focus). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe diffraction spike pattern from a bright star using a Bahtinov mask As you adjust the focuser of your telescope, the central spike will move in and out of the X-pattern. If you are using capture software be sure to compensate for the lag time between exposures on the screen, typically 4-5 seconds. The same process applies using Live view display on your DSLR camera. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eWho We are\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe at Farpoint Astro are a California based manufacturer of astrophotography filters, scopes, and tools.
