The flattener can be tricky to get (I do have one, but don't use it seeing I am under APS-C, only slightly but have no plans selling it) - best to order it and wait if you intend to use a large sensor camera
Thanks Lewis. Actually Claude has one. I’m just working out what other adapters I may need. I am also likely to change to a FT focuser.
