2" Field Flattener for f/6 to f/8 Refractors

Astronomy Technologies introduces this new 2" field flattener
that has been designed to optimize the flat-field imaging performance of
Astro-Tech and TMB apochromatic refractors. Optimized to work with an f/7 light
cone, the field flattener will also work well with any other brand and type of
f/6 to f/8 focal ratio refractor. Designed to work purely as a field flattener,
it does not change the focal length or focal ratio of your telescope.
The Astro-Tech 2" field flattener flattens the normal field curvature inherent
in all refractors to provide you with images that are sharply focused out to the
very corners of your 35mm or large format CCD imager frame. Stars look sharp and
point-like all the way across the field. You don't have to worry about photos
that are sharp in the center but out of focus at the edges.
The 2" barrel of the fully multicoated dual-element Astro-Tech field flattener
inserts directly into your refractors 2" focuser drawtube. A groove machined
into the field flattener barrel engages the thumbscrew or compression ring of
your focuser to act as a safety stop. This prevents the field flattener and
camera from falling to the ground should the thumbscrew or compression ring
accidentally loosen during use.
Standard T-2 T-threads on the observer/camera side of the black anodized field
flattener accept a standard T-ring for connecting a 35mm or DSLR camera to the
field flattener. They also allow direct connection to your CCD camera with its
1.25" or 2" nosepiece removed.
The interior of the Astro-Tech field flattener barrel is finished in
non-reflective matte black, with anti-reflection threading for optimum contrast.
The bottom of the barrel will accept standard 2" light pollution filters and
other 2" filters.
