Optec Flip-Mask with Bahtinov Mask, Custom Size

Optec developed the Flip-Mask as a way to introduce a diffraction mask into the light path for remote observatories. With this new device and proven Alnitak software, automated scripting programs such as Sequence Generator Pro, ACP, CCD Autopilot, and Maxim D/L can be configured to automatically position a custom size Bahtinov Mask for precision focusing, then remotely move it out of the path once focus is achieved and verified.

Optec masks are precision cut by laser engraving /cutting machine up to 12-inches in diameter.
