Explore Scientific Flattener ED80 & ED102 (76682)

The flattener is a specialized lens designed to correct the curvature caused by the primary optics of a telescope. This curvature can result in stars appearing less sharp at the edges of the field of view. By using a flattener, also known as a field flattener, this distortion is corrected, allowing astrophotographers to capture images where stars remain sharp across the entire frame. The flattener is positioned between the telescope and the camera.
