Apertura Primary Mirror Mask for CarbonStar 200 Imaging Newtonian Telescopes

Simplify your post-processing workflow with this mirror mask from Apertura! Crafted specifically for their larger Newtonian imaging solution, this aluminum mask can remove clips from your diffraction pattern while maintaining the majority of your aperture. Give your premium scope a high quality mask solution, with the Apertura Primary Mirror Mask for CarbonStar 200 Imaging Newtonian Telescopes!

Mirror clips offer an excellent balance of mechanical retention and usable aperture retention, holding your mirror securely while letting you use most of its precision surface. However these clips can become visible in diffraction patterns (especially noticeable around bright stars), leaving their small yet noticeable mark.
