Electric Constellations Bahtinov Mask list

Using a Bahtinov Mask

When all three rays meet, the star is in focus

See the article on Bahtinov Masks here.

The main horizontal spike is your main tool for focusing. As you change the focus, this spike will move up or down (or left or right, depending on orientation) to the other two diagonal spikes. You want to get the central spike exactly between the two diagonal spikes. Do that, and you’ll have the focus just right. Then, remove the mask and take the picture.

The following list of over fifty various Bahtinov masks is for specific telescopes or cameras. Choose yours, then click on the image to get it.

ELECTRIC CONSTELLATIONS Book Series

Challenge the standard model—explore the cosmos through the Electric Universe Theory. These Electric Constellations books contain full-color, data-rich investigations of four constellations each. They're not a beginner's star guide—they're a serious work for independent thinkers, astronomers, and scientifically literate readers seeking to understand the Universe beyond conventional gravity-based interpretations.

Each constellation is examined in detail, with attention to its Bayer-designated stars, mythological origins, meteor showers, and bordering constellations. In-depth profiles of deep-sky objects—including galaxies, planetary nebulae, and star clusters—are paired with high-resolution imagery from the Webb and Hubble space telescopes, delivering both scientific clarity and visual impact.

Central to this series is the Electric Universe (EU) model, which proposes that electromagnetic forces—not gravity alone—govern much of the structure and behavior of the cosmos. Rather than treating this as speculative fringe, the book frames the EU model as an evidence-based, plasma-physics-informed alternative to the standard cosmological narrative.

Inside each volume:

  • Comprehensive coverage of four distinct constellations
  • Analyses of deep-sky objects in the EU context
  • Original commentary on plasma discharge features and Z-pinch configurations
  • Mythological and historical context without romantic embellishment

Written for readers who demand more than rote repetition of gravitational dogma, Electric Constellations opens a new observational and theoretical frontier—where stars light by electrical currents, not fusion, and where structure emerges from plasma dynamics, not dark matter.

Whether you are an amateur astronomer, electrical engineer, or astrophysicist curious about alternative models, these books deliver a rigorous and visually stunning exploration of the night sky—illuminated by a very different current.
