Description

Our 2.7" Field Flattener can be coupled to a variety of different cameras for truly superb photographs or images with your 140 f/7.5 StarFire EDF, 130 f/8.35 StarFire EDT, 155 f/7 StarFire EDFS, Star130ED, Star12ED, 5" f/8 StarFire or 5" f/8 Standard.

The backfocus spacing for these flatteners (as measured from the rear flange) is 3.4" +/- 1/10" (86.4 mm +/- 2.5 mm).

The bayonet male thread size at the rear is 3.725" x 24.

Use the bayonet locking ring to secure your camera into position after you have framed your image. This allows you to rotate the camera to achieve your desired composition.

Starting in August 2009, all 2.7" field flatteners are now shipped with machined aluminum covers for both sides of the unit. If you already own one of these flatteners and would like a set of covers, you may order them separately.

Applications:
35 mm SLR or DSLR Camera
 - use 67RT-- adapters (specify the t-ring that you need) to interface with the field flattener for optimum results in 35 mm film formats. For full frame Canon DSLR's, we also offer the Large 1.875" diameter SLR Adapter with Canon EOS Bayonet (67RLEOS) and Nikon (67RLNIK) Bayonets  .

Ella ★★★★★

Been using this flattener with my 130 f/8.35 EDT and the edge-to-edge sharpness is honestly stunning—no more pinched stars in the corners. The 2.7" threads made it a breeze to swap between my camera and eyepieces during a session.

Michael ★★★★★

Stars in the corners finally look like pinpoints instead of little seagulls—the 2.7" aperture on my 155 f/7 StarFire makes a real difference. It threaded on cleanly and the whole setup holds collimation through a full night of imaging, which is more than I can say for my last flattener.

Olivia G. ★★★★★

The threads on this 2.7" flattener mate perfectly with my 130 f/8.35 scope, and the glass is incredibly clean—no reflections even on bright stars. It flattened the field corner-to-corner in my first test shot, which was a huge relief.
