The mask is placed in front of the telescope's aperture and, when focusing on a star, creates a characteristic pattern of light rays. When the center ray is exactly between the two oblique rays, the focus is perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to its many fine slots, you can use this mask even with dimly illuminating stars, making it more reliable than the traditional Scheiner mask. Although a Bahtinov mask is ideally calculated specifically per aperture ratio, practice has shown that this model performs excellently over a wide f-number range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mask is made of durable PETG via 3D printing technology and remains dimensionally stable up to temperatures of approximately 80\u00b0C. As a result, it remains stable even under cold or humid conditions during prolonged use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Application:<\/strong><br>Perfect for astrophotographers working with the <strong>Skywatcher Explorer 130PDS<\/strong> and strive for maximum sharpness and detail in their deep-sky shots. This mask lets you focus quickly and repeatably, even with fainter stars or slight seeing variations. Ideal for nights when precision counts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Specifications:<\/strong><br>Type: Focus mask (Bahtinov)<br>Design: Bahtinov pattern according to Pavel Bahtinov<br>Material: PETG (3D printed)<br>Temperature resistance: up to 80 \u00b0C<br>Suitable for: Skywatcher N 130\/650 Explorer 130PDS<br>Use: Visual observation and astrophotography<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p data-start=\"247\" data-end=\"405\">Focus mask Bahtinov Skywatcher 130PDS comes with accurate Bahtinov pattern for razor-sharp focus in astrophotography.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"407\" data-end=\"855\">\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":30700,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[550],"product_cat":[56,3115],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-30698","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_brand-astroprints","product_cat-telescoop-accessoires","product_cat-focusing","product_shipping_class-licht","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"bundled_by":[],"bundle_stock_status":"instock","bundle_stock_quantity":null,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundle_price":[],"bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":104875,"url":"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/en\/levenhuk-labzz-t3\/","url_meta":{"origin":30698,"position":0},"title":"Levenhuk LabZZ T3 - 60\/700 Refractor","author":"Abdullah Ibrar","date":"24-03-2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Levenhuk LabZZ T3 - 60\/700 Refractor comes with 4mm eyepiece, 12.5mm eyepiece, 1.5x eyepiece, 3x Barlow lens, 5x optical viewfinder, zenith mirror and aluminum tripod with accessory tray.","rel":"","context":"Similar post","block_context":{"text":"Similar post","link":""},"img":{"alt_text":"Levenhuk LabZZ T3 - 60\/700 Refractor aluminium statief met accessoirebak","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Levenhuk-LabZZ-T3-60700-Refractor-1.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":107604,"url":"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/en\/televue-tele-pod-advanced-azimutale-montering\/","url_meta":{"origin":30698,"position":1},"title":"TeleVue Tele-Pod Advanced \u2013 Azimuth Mount","author":"Abdullah Ibrar","date":"28-04-2026","format":false,"excerpt":"TeleVue Tele-Pod Advanced \u2013 azimutale montering wordt geleverd met aluminium statief, transporttas en biedt soepele bediening voor lichte telescopen. \u00a0","rel":"","context":"Similar post","block_context":{"text":"Similar post","link":""},"img":{"alt_text":"TeleVue Montering Tele-Pod Advanced close-up van de azimutale montagekop op zwart geanodiseerd aluminium statief met blauwe accentring op witte achtergrond","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TeleVue-Montering-Tele-Pod-Advanced-1.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TeleVue-Montering-Tele-Pod-Advanced-1.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TeleVue-Montering-Tele-Pod-Advanced-1.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TeleVue-Montering-Tele-Pod-Advanced-1.jpg?resize=700%2C400&ssl=1 2x"},"classes":[]},{"id":105543,"url":"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/en\/levenhuk-skyline-travel-70\/","url_meta":{"origin":30698,"position":2},"title":"Levenhuk Skyline Travel 70 - 70\/400 Refractor","author":"Abdullah Ibrar","date":"03-04-2026","format":false,"excerpt":"The Levenhuk Skyline Travel 70 \u2013 70\/400 Refractor comes with 10mm and 20mm eyepieces, a 3x Barlow lens, a 5x24 finderscope, a diagonal prism, an aluminum tripod, and a backpack.
