Description

Testing some new imaging methods. This one is taken with a homemade "fish line" mask over the end of the telescope. My telescope doesn't have vanes so I miss out on the nice star spikes people love. This is a mask made from cardboard cut into strips and glued into an oval to fit on the end of the telescope. Two medium weight pieces of fishing line are wrapped around the cardboard to form an X in front of the telescope. I like the results.
