TS Optics Flattener/Reducer 0.8x

The flattener is a crucial optical component designed to rectify field curvature induced by primary optics. This curvature often results in diminished sharpness of stars at the periphery of the field of view. By evening out the field, the flattener—also known as a field flattener—ensures that astrophotographers can capture images with consistently sharp stars right to the edges of their exposures. Installed between the telescope and the camera, this essential lens guarantees optimal image quality.

Meanwhile, the Reducer, specialized for focal length reduction, offers additional advantages. By achieving a more favorable aperture ratio, it reduces required exposure times, rendering the optics 'faster.' Additionally, the Reducer expands the field of view, enabling the observation or photography of larger astronomical objects with ease.

TS Optics, a reputable brand under Teleskop-Service, presents these indispensable tools for astrophotography enthusiasts.
