Bahtinov mask

I’ve still to try this out properly. It’s a focussing aid for telescopes and cameras, and probably familiar to lots of blippers.
Invented in 2005 by Patel Bahtinov, it creates angled diffraction spikes that allow very precise manual focussing. You also, of course, remove it before taking photos.
