How did you work this out?? It looks like almost after 10 years at DPC I still don't know all the functionality of the website.

PS I did work it out, it should be telling us something. Maybe finally get rid of Minimal challenges? It is pretty clear that the voters don't like them.

Thanks for the votes and what a surprise blue for a 5.8 fractional. Must be the lowest ribbon score on record.
Mita has it right about multiple pinholes.
I did quite a bit of testing and settled on three in-line holes in a sheet of aluminum foil stretched over the lens mount in place of the lens: one hole in the middle and one at each edge although badly aligned in this case.
Thanks all.
