Skywatcher field flattener was created by johnomahony
I have just acquired a field flattener from Ian King Imaging made by Skywatcher. It is designed to work with small refractors at F5 to F6 with DSLR's. It is only a flattener and does not reduce.

It looks well made and I am looking forward to trying it out on my Megrez 72. It was only £69.
I'll post a few shots when I get some clear nights.

Looks good John...
looking forward to seeing the images you get with it.

I was tempted to acquire one which the owner was giving away for free but
I decided I did not have the room for it at home
for this field flattener .
Although I'm pretty sure I'd find it hard to find
an adapter for it for my ETX.

Hmmm....
I think you may need to attend the IFAS astrophotography course:unsure: .
It would be good for "stretching" your images also:lol:
