I'm assuming that this was invented by Bernard Lyot, perhaps even another name for the Lyot filter that is mentioned on his page. Any one know for sure?--Rayc 02:47, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

• No, a Lyot filter (just wrote a stub for that) isn't any kind of stop. I think a Lyot stop is something to do with his coronagraph, from a quick Google. --Bob Mellish 18:44, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Oh, Ok, well, I wonder if this is the right guy then. Can't be that many Lyots that invent optical parts--Rayc 23:25, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
