Small optics upload let's gooooo. Came across your channel in March and I immediately loved your content style and delivery. Cheers from Canada🇨🇦🇨🇦

Great video thanks but absolutely fed up now with the almost permanent cloudy skies we have here in England. I'm 68 and it was never like this years ago!

I use two of these, including one on my finderscope that doubles up as a guidescope.

I found some downloads to print your own Bahtinov mask and made my own from 2mm modelling cardboard, painted it matt black and it works great.

[@brenthann2623]

another great video. thanks so much.

[@gregorywakefield7871]

As always a very useful and informative video. Will be obtaining a mask for use now. Thanks.

[@markdrexler382]

Thank you for explaining the use and reason of the mask . Very informative as always. Look forward to your next video. Thanks again

Love your channel. But just to make things clear. Can I focus on a star and use this focus setting for planets?

[@msneddon1792]

Think you will get your hands on a dwarf 3 telescope. I’m thinking about working a job over summer to buy one if it’s not much dearer than the last one.

Good video as always!
I'm just a bit confused as to the Bahtinov mask use for visual observation. You mentioned in passing to do so only for low-medium power which doesn't really make sense as focus is easy to reach at lower powers. That led me to research online and it sounds like the best visual use case is to support making eyepieces parfocal as well as to focus once at a beginning of each session with a parfocal set. Is that what you've done?

[@Amradar123]

Tnx 😊 Do they also have those for 200 mm/8 inch?

[@JupiterEclipse]

I have been waiting for you forever!! Thanks for uploading. What should I do if I have a fever and I want to see the meteor shower tomorrow? Because the next good one is not until 3 months from now.

[@garyb6219]

My prescription for a fever is more cowbell.

What? What does that have to do with the meteor shower that I want to see?

[@smalloptics753]

Hello friend ! Sorry for the wait. Hope you get a good show and the weather is kind for you.

[@KJ7VGI-jt6xz]

What if you wear glasses, but not while gazing. Will I have to use glasses if I use the Bahtinov?

[@Krzysztof_Topolewski]

Can the Bahtinov focus mask will also show if my telescope need colimation?

[@AmatureAstronomer]
