TS Optics Flattener/Reducer 0.8x M74/M48 (73831)

The TS Optics Flattener/Reducer 0.8x M74/M48 is designed for astrophotographers who want both a flat field and a wider field of view from their telescope. This accessory corrects the natural field curvature caused by the main optics, ensuring stars remain sharp and focused all the way to the edge of your images. As a reducer, it shortens the focal length by a factor of 0.8x, making your optics "faster," reducing exposure times, and increasing the field of view—ideal for capturing larger astronomical objects. The flattener/reducer is installed between the telescope and camera and is compatible with telescopes like the AP 76/418.

This flattener/reducer is an excellent choice for astrophotographers seeking sharp, wide-field images and faster optics for both observation and imaging.
