Hi guys. I got sent this file to print for my Rasa 8. This will give me diffraction spikes in my images,which I really want. But I'm just not sure if the measurements are right? And if so what's the best option. The FDM or SLS? Thanks in advance 
3D File for diffraction spikes on the Rssa 8
Hi
just wondering if would be easier to add the diffraction spikes in post processing. If you have PS, there is an action tool from Noel Carboni. You can even select if you want to add the spikes to bright or small stars

Hi. I don't have photoshop. But thanks
I will never understand who wants spikes in telescopes that don't suffer of this artefact.
…we used to build curved vanes for newtonians in order to avoid spikes and obtain "refractor like" images!
of course tastes are personal

I'ld use a design that also leads the wires to the camera in front of the RASA - they make diffraction spikes anyway. And if you attach them to this with cable binder, you'll get strange spikes.

Hi all. I am in the process of learning cad and I thought a good place to practice was making a dovetail plate, and some mounting rings for my set up. My question is for those who also have 3d printed parts and accessories. What filament would be bes...

Baader high speed 6.5mm or 3.5mm
Hi. I’m just wondering which filter thickness to get between Baader High Speed 6.5mm or 3.5mm Narrow Band CMOS Optimised. Set up will be the Rasa 8 and Zwo 294mm pro camera. I know the 3.5mn are more expensive but I just want the best for this setup....

Is there a plugin to add Star diffraction spikes in photoshop (on a Mac)
It probably has come up already in the forum, but I cannot seem to find it. Is there a plugin for photoshop that can add the star spikes on a Macbook and preferably is customisable? And no, I dont want to tape wires to the scope I think star spikes c...

C11 Unexpected Diffraction Spikes
Greetings! I'm getting geared up for a run on M57 and was reviewing some subs from my first night of images. I noticed that I've got some diffraction spikes on the stars and I'm not sure where those are coming from. I don't see anythi...
