TS Optics Flattener/Reducer 0.8x CF-APO 102 (70045)

The flattener is a lens designed to correct the slight curvature of the field created by the main optics. This curvature can cause stars at the edge of the field of view to appear less sharp. The flattener, also known as a field flattener, eliminates this effect, allowing astrophotographers to capture images with sharp stars all the way to the edge. It is installed between the telescope and the camera.

The reducer is an optical accessory that shortens the focal length, resulting in a faster aperture ratio. This means shorter exposure times and faster optics. The field of view also increases, making it possible to observe or photograph larger astronomical objects.

TS Optics is a brand from Teleskop-Service.
