Hi all,
I am after opinions/experience from anyone with the performance and suitability of a field flattener on the Orion Eon 115m.
805mm
F7
The situation is that the dedicated orion field flattener:
https://www.telescope.com/Orion-3-Field-Flattener-for-EON-115130-EDT-Refractors/p/114896.uts
is unavailable and, other than finding one secondhand or left sitting on a shelf somewhere, i will have to find a different one.
options seem to be possibly the meade one
https://www.astronomics.com/meade-3-field-flattener-for-imaging-with-meade-115mm-and-130mm-refractors.html
or this one from Telescope express
https://www.teleskop-express.de/shop/product_info.php/info/p4047_TS-Optics-REFRACTOR-1-0x-Flattener-for-APO---big-sized-Sensors---M92-connection.html
If any one has any other suggestions i am interested.
thanks
Jack
