Hi guys, I haven’t been out imaging for a fair while now because I’ve been recovering from back surgery. Not to mention the cloud and now the smoke.

This morning my wife bought me a 2” dual band filter. I have a problem though, I installed the field flattener on my scope when I first bought it and I’ve never taken it off since. Over that time I’ve been taking the camera off and putting it back on again, at the same time this has been tightening the field flattener.

The 2” filters for my setup go in between the flattener and the adapter ring that sits on the back of it. I have been trying all morning but can’t unscrew the adapter ring from the flattener.

Any thoughts on how I can unscrew this? I’ve tried gently tapping it with a hammer etc but it just won’t budge. Obviously I don’t want to damage it in the process.
