Mirror Masks: Imaging

Remove mirror clip diffraction spikes
Visual: correct turned down edge: visual masks.

Masking the clips on your primary will improve star images by eliminating flare. The images at left show a primary mirror without and with our mask. The star images below show results without and with the mask.

Our first two buyers remarked "It worked fantastic. The stars have no more flaring whatsoever. I'm very happy with it." Another sent the four comparison photos, writing "Love the aperture ring! Here's a great results example of the imaging ring I purchased."

Precision cut from light weight 1/8" thick acrylic, one side flat black. Adhere with small Velcro dots or similar.

Mask centers perfectly: outside edge of mask aligns precisely with outside edge of mirror clips.

Prices are for up to 12.5" mirrors. Inquire for larger sizes.

Shipping invoiced separately: U.S. $7. International: inquire.
