Best field flattened equinox 80 ed apo

[alexd106]

Dear all,

Can anyone suggest a field flattened to use on my skywatcher equinox 80 ed apo? I have seen one made by Skywatcher but the blurb says it is optimised for f5.5-f6, whereas my scope is f6.25. Would this do or will I have to go for another make (which all seem slot more expensive)?

Iam looking to hook my canon 5d to my scope and start snapping the moon and possibly planets.

Thanks

Alex

I know that Harry Page has used the Skywatcher reducer/flattenner and his APS-C sized camera (Starlight Xpress M25C) with great results (Link to Harrys site >>HERE<< )

Hi

That flattener was used with a equinox 120mm and the 80mm version does not go with the equinox 80mm

I have used the Ts flattener very succesfully

Its not cheap but its very good and suits a large range of scopes
