Meh. You can do just as well without it.

I didn't get to precise focus any faster with this mask. It still takes a few minutes of fiddling around the exact center point, and the "error bars" are just as wide. If you have a few good stars, you can get to focus without this contraption just as quickly (or slowly). But if you're new to focusing, or you want a quick & dirty focus, it might help a bit.

A most have for the Astrophotography

A great tool for achieving a fine focus needed in taking long exposures. Easy to use, well constructed, and easy to store away, when not in use!
