Hi Bill,

I don't think I will be of much assistance yet, but I myself have just received the P-Flat 4 from William Optics. With the strength of the dollar together with free delivery, it was too good an opportunity. I was trying to find a flattener for both my Skywatcher ED120 and ED80. I originally was interested in the Skywatcher/Orion flatteners however I would have required 2 as they are not transferable. The other significant issue with them is that they are M48 thread which does not allow a CCD to be connected without some kind of adapter which would need to be custom made.

Anyhow..... just waiting for a clear night so that I can do a test image. I have it all sitting ready to go. I fitted the P-Flat 4 to the QHY8L and it is a nice solid threaded connection ( together with the Moonlite focuser on the ED120.... seems very solid).

Could be clear in Adelaide tonight so fingers crossed!

Cheers,

Daniel
