Explore Scientific ES MPCC field flattener ED APO + Nikon T2 (48537)

Many refractor telescopes produce images with a curved field rather than a flat one. This curvature results in only the central region of the image being fully focused, while the edges appear out of focus. While the human eye can generally compensate for this effect, cameras clearly show the increasing lack of focus towards the edges of images.

A field flattener is an optical device designed to resolve this image field curvature, significantly improving edge clarity in astrophotography. By correcting the curved focal plane to a flat one, the field flattener ensures that the entire image is in sharp focus, from the center to the edges.

Benefits:

• Improves edge sharpness in astrophotographs

• Corrects field curvature inherent in many refractor designs

• Enhances overall image quality, especially for wide-field views

• Essential for achieving professional-quality results in astrophotography

Specifications:

• Type: Flatteners, Correctors, Reducers

• Type of build: Flattener

This optical accessory is particularly valuable for astrophotographers using refractor telescopes, as it allows them to capture crisp, well-focused images across the entire field of view, resulting in more professional and aesthetically pleasing astronomical photographs.
