Hey, everyone,

There is a wonderful program that can be used with the Bahtinov Focus Mask that tells you if you are in focus (better than just using visual).

As of now, the program takes the average of 5 frames and tells you how many pixels you are off and which way to turn the focus knob to achieve perfect focus.

Go to this link, make sure you are on the third page, and download the "grabber" version that is posted by "Amatuer".

Clear Skies,
