AstroZap Focusing Cap with Built-In Bahtinov Mask 11″ SCT and Similar OTAs
When you’re working with a high-powered telescope like an 11″ Schmidt-Cassegrain, even the smallest focus error can rob your images of detail. The AstroZap Focusing Cap with Built-In Bahtinov Mask helps you achieve pinpoint focus quickly and reliablywithout adding extra steps or accessories to your setup.
This smart, dual-purpose design functions as both a dust cap and a precision Bahtinov mask, purpose-built to fit 11″ SCTs and similar front-cell diameters. When its time to focus, just slide open the internal shutter to expose the Bahtinov mask embedded in the cap. A bright star will instantly produce a trio of diffraction spikes on your camera or live view screen. Adjust your focuser until the center spike aligns perfectly between the outer twoand youre dialed in.
When focus is locked, simply slide the shutter closed and your corrector is once again protected from dust and debris. Its a seamless solution for imagers and serious observers who want faster setup, fewer moving parts, and more reliable results.
