2 " field flatteners

Anybody got any advice/ experience about the best flattener for use with a DSLR and 2 " connector? For use on a 80mm refractor
Many thanks
Graham

I'm using the Orion 2" FF and it works a treat with my ED80 and DSLR.
At only $149 from Bintel, it's a steal.


* Eliminate field curvature in short, optically fast refractor telescopes with this handy 38mm clear-aperture, fully multi-coated field flattener
* Designed for use with 400mm to 650mm focal length refractors with f/5 to f/7.5 focal ratios

* Optimizes your fast refractor telescope for astrophotography use and visual performance

* Preserves focal length while flattening the field of view

* Requires 55mm of refractor telescope backfocus, weighs 7.5 oz.
