Accurate focus: 

To ensure perfect accuracy, point the eVscope on a bright star and use 

the Bahtinov mask to adjust the focus and the coma (see Mirror Alignment). 

 

i.  Here is how to focus with the mask. In the « 

Explore

 » tab of your app, go to « 

Star

 », and select the 

first one. Select « 

GoTo

 » to move the eVscope on it. Go to « 

eVscope

 » tab, then touch the 

Settings 

icon

  on  the  top  right  of  your  screen  and  activate  the « 

Auto

 » mode. Put the mask on top of the 

tube. This will create a specific diffraction pattern for that bright star, with a central line and two spikes 
forming an X. If the central line is positioned exactly in the middle of X, it means your eVscope is 
perfectly focused. To achieve this result, you just need to manually rotate the focusing wheel at the 
bottom of your eVscope and observe the results. 
The orientation of the cross does not matter 

 

ii.  In these three images, you can see the star Rigel observed with our mask. The first two images are 

out of focus, but by rotating the wheel, we were able to achieve perfect focus.
