Claire ★★★★★

Finally, a reducer that actually gets the spacing right on my FSQ-130ED without adding extra adapters—the image circle stays sharp corner to corner.

Violet L. ★★★★★

Switching from a standard flattener to this 0.7X reducer gave my FSQ-130ED noticeably faster exposures for faint nebula detail, and the star shapes stayed tight across the full frame even with my full-frame camera.

Eva ★★★★★

I was a bit worried about vignetting with my full-frame camera, but this reducer delivers flat, sharp stars right to the edges with zero tilt issues. The 0.7X focal reduction really speeds up my subs without sacrificing detail.
