Bhatinov Mask Case


Bhatinov Mask Case

I break Bhatinov masks ... not always ... but it happens unexpectedly enough of the time. Been wanting to make a case for the darned things for years (every time I break a mask).

SO

I am tearing down a Meade 10" Schmidt-Newtonian, and have had an unused Bhatinov mask sitting in its packing material. Finally decided to make a simple case for this large (and fragile) mask.

Not sophisticated and maybe $5.00 in materials. Just a simple thin luan plywood top and bottom, and a cast off 2x12 ripped into thin slices as the perimeter.

Also used some of the spare material to make a smaller Bhatinov mask storage box for my Quattro 150p at the same time. It even fits in my case for the scope!
