Masks

Four masks are installed in the stop wheel that allows to reduce the throughput. For very bright targets one can use masks with a 9mm, 7mm, 6mm, or 5mm opening rather than the default 15mm one to get a reduced throughput of 38%, 22%, 15%, or 10%, respectively. Tests should be made with the masks to see if there are any optical effects.
