William Optics Bahtinov Mask Cover for WO FLT132

The William Optics Bahtinov Mask Cover for WO FLT132 is a specialized focusing tool designed specifically for the William Optics FLT132 telescope. This mask helps astronomers achieve precise focus for astrophotography and visual observations by creating a distinctive diffraction pattern around bright stars.

Specifically designed to fit the William Optics FLT132 telescope model.

Compatibility

---

This Bahtinov mask is custom-made to fit the William Optics FLT132 telescope, ensuring a secure and light-tight fit. It's not compatible with other telescope models or brands without modification.

Focusing Mechanism

---

The Bahtinov mask features a precise pattern of slits that create a specific diffraction pattern when pointed at a bright star. This pattern allows for extremely accurate focusing by aligning the central spike with the intersection of the outer spikes.

Construction:

Made from durable, lightweight material that's resistant to warping and flexing, ensuring consistent performance over time. The mask is designed to be easily attached and removed from the telescope.

Ease of Use

Simple to use, even for beginners. Place the mask over the telescope's aperture, point at a bright star, and adjust focus until the diffraction pattern is symmetrical and properly aligned.

Benefits for Astrophotography

Achieving precise focus is crucial for astrophotography. This Bahtinov mask allows for consistently sharp, well-focused images of celestial objects, enhancing the overall quality of astrophotos.

Visual Observation Enhancement

While primarily used for astrophotography, the mask can also help achieve optimal focus for visual observations, providing sharper views of planets, stars, and deep-sky objects.

Portability

Lightweight and compact, this Bahtinov mask is easy to transport along with your telescope to dark sky sites or star parties.
