TS Optics Flattener/Reducer 0.8x 2" (65044)

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 where stars remain sharp all the way to the edge. The flattener 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 allows for shorter exposure times and makes the optics faster. Additionally, the field of view increases, allowing for the observation or photography of larger astronomical objects.
