Flocked Light Trap Mat'l

Support

The spider hub and holder assemblies are made of carbon composite, which significantly reduces the weight. The spider vanes are steel for maximum strength and keeps the thickness to a minimum. Our 3-vane spider design has 1/4 less total diffraction compared to 4-vane models. Bright field objects will appear to have six diffraction spikes spaced at 60° intervals, but the spikes are half as bright compared to a 4-vane spider (see diffraction comparison). The 3-vane mounts feature the same simplified collimation as the 4-vane models. Made in the U.S.A.
