I bought a beautiful Tak FS-60CB yesterday, that thankfuly had had the original focuser replaced with a Feathertouch - no more need to buy over-priced Tak bits and doodads and whizz-wangles :)

So, now the question - anyone got a good flattener or reducer/flattener suggestion? Was thinking either going cheap and trying the Orion flattener, ($149 at Bintel) or a bit upper with the TV reducer/flattener they market for the Pronto etc.

Suggestions greatly appreciated, as I know how harsh the field curvature is with these in images.
