There are no problems with this Bahtinov mask. The kit must be placed over the lens, inside an empty UV filter, and it must be focused on a bright star such that the central refracted spike is aligned between the two other spikes crossing in either direction (as shown in the illustration). It makes it possible to focus on stars and infinity with great accuracy. You would have to remove the UV filter before imaging, so don't waste your money on a costly filter. The threaded side) is good To get the filter to fit comfortably inside, I had to reverse the plastic insert in the tray that came with it (the solution worked). For now, I was able to deduct one star because it is currently $20. If you want to be sure you don't receive an identical product from a third party vendor, order directly from Farpoint. It's basically a cheap plastic item that is not molded to an exceptionally high standard (i. e. it doesn't have I paid $15 for my order when I placed it.
Due to its size, I could not fit it in the correct size There was no way it could I managed by hooking my camera into the filter's edge and resting it against the camera. My camera was pointed upward, so I managed with it My only wish would have been to have gotten the Orion lens holder with legs so it could be attached to the It would appear to be.
The 77mm UV filter by Amazon fits the filter very well A tight fit, so that it doesn't come out easily, but not so tight that it's hard to insert. I was able to use it with my Samyang 135mm f2. 0 lens smoothly. An exposure of 5 to 10 seconds on a bright star allows me to get spikes with nice sizes that can be aligned to make a You can let go of some of the guesswork by using this method.

Initially, the mask comes slightly oversized so that the tabs can be sanded or filed for a perfect fit after you receive it. With mine, I adjusted the friction fit so it sat comfortably. As a way of making the removal easier, I attached a loop of braided fishing line. The UV filter fits in the box that came with the Amazon basics UV filter.
You need to take several second exposures and increase the ISO in order to get a good diffraction spike, but once you have one, focusing is much easier, especially for someone who wears glasses and has a difficult time seeing the display on the back of the camera.
I had to trim a bit of the side to make it fit. It fits the UV filter and works like a charm.
The product works as described. There is only one disadvantage to star focusing it has to be screwed on to your lens and you have to remember to remove it before taking a Apart from that, I have noticed a dramatic improvement with my stars.
This is a great product that fits and works well.
