I got one.


 


Works ok but you still need good conditions to use it as you have to use high magnification like a star test.


 


Ok as a confirmation of a star test.

Thanks Phil and tbird.


 


Why do you need good conditions to use it - you ramp the mag up isn't all you need a donut, not any concentric rings?

If the seeing isn't very good then it's difficult to judge the image, it's not a donut, it's similar to a bahtinov mask.
