Customer Reviews (4.4 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Claire B. ★★★★★

My TSA-120 images used to have soft corners, but this flattener sharpens everything across the 40mm image circle. Stars look like tiny pinpoint dots now instead of little comets.

Penelope ★★★★★

Finally getting pinpoint stars across the whole frame with my TOA-130, that 40mm image circle really makes a difference for framing. The correction is so clean I can see 2-micron star profiles even in my wider-field shots.

Daniel S. ★★★★☆

I wasn't expecting the 40mm image circle to make such a difference—my full-frame sensor now has sharp stars all the way to the edges. The center star resolution is spot-on at 2 microns, just as described. Only wish it came with a slightly longer thread for easier camera rotation.
