Natalie N. ★★★★★

After struggling with coma in my Mewlon for months, this 0.8x reducer flattener finally gave me clean stars across the whole frame. The ED glass really makes a difference—no false color at all.

Amelia ★★★★★

Finally my stars are round instead of seagull-shaped at the edges—the ED glass really does keep color fringing under control. It threaded onto my Mewlon without any wobble, and the 0.8x reduction gave me just enough extra field for framing the Dumbbell Nebula perfectly.

Amelia ★★★★★

Installing this was straightforward, and the 0.8X reduction immediately gave me wider, sharper star fields with my Mewlon. The ED glass elements keep chromatic aberration well under control, even at the edges of my APS-C sensor.
