Apertura CarbonStar 150 Primary Mirror Mask
If you’re looking for a mirror mask solution for your Apertura CarbonStar 150
Imaging Newtonian, then look no further than this upgrade mask from the makers
of the telescope itself! Designed specifically for that excellent imaging
powerhouse, this mask will produce cleaner diffraction patterns. If simpler
post-processing or clip-free results are what you’re after, than this premium
aluminum option is the add-on for you!
Mirror clips are a great retention solution to securely hold the primary
mirror in place while maintaining a large amount of unobstructed area along
the edge (leading to more signal), however some users find their impact on the
diffraction pattern (particularly around bright stars) displeasing and a bit
of a pain to process out. This is where the Apertura CarbonStar 150 Primary
Mirror Mask comes in! Designed specifically for the Apertura 150 CarbonStar
Imaging Newtonian, this precision CNC machined 2mm thick aluminum mask covers
the stock mirror clips with a smooth ring that removes mirror clip artifacts
while keeping signal loss to a minimum of 11%!
Impressive Results, Simple Installation!
For those looking to make the trade-off of signal for cleaner diffraction
patterns, minimize your signal loss and maximize your results with this
meticulously designed, easy to install, premium material option for the
authority on the CarbonStar 150 Imaging Newtonian!
Premium Construction, Optimized Design
