Buckeye Stargazer 3D-Printed Tri-Bahtinov Masks for Celestron Scopes for Collimation and Focus
A Tri-Bahtinov mask operates under the same principle as the Bahtinov mask for focusing and adds the ability to collimate scopes with collimatable optics.
The design is based on Cytan's idea, documented on his Github site here, and the sketch was made using Satoru Takagi's Mask Generator.
The mask has a raised center for an easy grip and comes in three sections that snap fit together and can be taken apart for easier storage (C5 is one piece, 14" and larger are 6 sections).
To make the masks easier to use, check out the ISO masks; they are an add-on to allow light through the mask for one adjustment knob at a time, making the process much simpler to follow.
If you don't see your scope listed below Buckeye will be happy to design a mask to meet your needs.
Celestron 8" SCT (non-Fastar pre-1998): TriBahtinov-C8-NF
Celestron "Classic 8" (Orange Tubes): TriBahtinov-CClassic8
Celestron 14" SCT and EdgeHD (non-Fastar pre-1998): TriBahtinov-C14-NF
Celestron 8" SCTs and EdgeHD (incl. Ultima 2000): TriBahtinov-C8
Celestron 9.25" SCTs and EdgeHD: TriBahtinov-C9.25
Celestron 11" SCTs and EdgeHD: TriBahtinov-C11
Celestron 14" SCTs and EdgeHD: TriBahtinov-C14
The "Classic8" central obstruction measures about 71mm diameter, while the "non-Fastar" CO is about 65mm diameter.
Instructions for Use
Please see Cytan's wiki page.
**For Hyperstar versions, the center hole accommodates the Hyperstar, and will not go around cameras that are wider than the Hyperstar body. In such cases the camera must be removed for installation and removal of the mask.
Printed in durable, temperature tolerant PETG filament.
