Focus Mask Shootout

In this video, I have tried to do a basic review of different types of Focus Masks for 8" Telescope and then rank them for best suitablity for Visual astronomy and Astro Photography.
This ranking is based on my observations and is not ment to contradict any other such study.

I expect this Video will help the amature astronomers to best select the type of focus masks they need for their telescope.
