Can anyone give me the benefit of their experience with what might be the best field flattener to combine with a skywatcher ED80 and DSLR camera.
Thanks and Clear skies:)

I've had some success with a WO P-FLAT IV on an Orion ED80 with a QHY8 which is a DSLR sensor size (28mm diagonal).

Hi Michael, I am using this flattener/ reducer from Bintel and it is perfectly suited for the ED 80!:thumbsup:

But you will also need to buy the special T-Ring to suit.

The Skywatcher reducer/flattener works extremely well.
