As some of you well know Farpoint is the brain child of Optical Structures Inc. We started many years ago with the development, engineering and manufacturing of scientific research instruments. In just over 3 years, Farpoint began as a simple idea to bring quality affordable products to the amateur astronomer. Since then, we have developed an optic manufacturing division. Optical Structures together with Farpoint and Optic Wave Labs is just breaking into a vast new world of advanced astronomical instruments, advanced optical systems and services.

FARPOINT ASTRO BAHTINOV FOCUS MASKThe mask consists of three separate grids, positioned in such a way that the grids produce three angulated diffraction spikes at the focal plane of the instrument for each bright image element (star).

In reality, all three spikes move but the central spike moves in an opposite direction to the two spikes forming the 'X'. Optimum focus is achieved when the middle spike is centred on the star and symmetrically positioned between the other two spikes. Small deviations from optimal focus are easily visible...
