TS Optics Flattener 1x 2"/M48

The flattener is a vital component that ensures uniformity in astrophotography by addressing the slight curvature introduced by primary optics. This curvature often results in stars appearing less sharp at the edges of the field of view. Enter the flattener, also known as a field flattener, which effectively corrects this phenomenon, allowing astrophotographers to capture images where stars remain consistently sharp from edge to edge. Installed between the telescope and the camera, this essential lens ensures optimal image quality.

Designed to accommodate refractors ranging from 70 mm to 102 mm aperture, this corrector maintains the refractor's focal length, preserving the integrity of your optical system. With an optimal distance of 55 mm from the M48 thread to the camera sensor, connecting an SLR camera is straightforward, requiring only an M48 adapter ring for seamless integration.

Featuring a 2" barrel at the telescope side, the corrector facilitates easy connection to compatible telescopes, ensuring compatibility with refractors up to 102 mm aperture designed for 2" accessories. Additionally, the corrector boasts a convenient filter thread for 2" filters at the end of the barrel, enhancing versatility in astrophotography setups.
