TS Optics Flattener/Reducer 0.8x M54/M48

The flattener, also known as a field flattener, is a vital lens that rectifies the slight curvature in the field caused by primary optics. This curvature often leads to reduced sharpness of stars at the periphery of the field of view. By evening out this field curvature, the flattener ensures that stars remain consistently sharp throughout the entire exposure. Installed between the telescope and the camera, this essential component guarantees optimal image quality for astrophotographers.

Similarly, the Reducer, designed for focal length reduction, offers additional benefits. By achieving a more favorable aperture ratio, it reduces required exposure times, making the optics faster. Additionally, the Reducer expands the field of view, facilitating the observation or photography of even larger astronomical objects with ease.

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