I'm not sure that they have a 2" neck to t-ring adapter. You may want to try the Orion model. I know I have seen it at Sirius Optics in the past, as I bought one there.

On the Megrez 90, you'll lose about half of your 300D frame unless you get a flattener, though.

I could have sworn I saw one there only weeks ago, and OPT are advertising one, tho higher cost and gotta pay freight.

Yeah been wondering about that, have heeded your warning about the Pflat III, any experience with the II?

BTW, thanks for keeping the Megrez90 in as-new condition, can't keep my eyes off her!

They don't have on the website items that are out of stock, presumably to avoid difficulties of grumpy customers paying for what is temporarily unavailable. I would email them, I found their attention to emails very prompt.

They have a new flattener for the Megrez 88, which may work on the 90 as well. I've heard that the 2 is good as a flattener, other than the vignetting which can be taken care of with flats. I still have yet to find anything that flattens better than the DG-L, though.

Cheers Ric.

I think I read somewhere that the 88's flatener isn't great on the 90.

A couple people over on Cloudy Nights seem happy with it. It doesn't seem too bad, especially considering the price. I'd be curious to see someone run it through CCD Inspector, as well as see some flats taken with/without it.

As they claim it isn't a reducer, I wonder how the actual field size works out.

Robin,
Sorry for hijacking this thread, but I was searching for Astro-Tech flatteners and saw that Simon was trying to find the WO Photo Adapter which is here

If anyone has used the Astro-Tech 2" flattener, I would be interested to hear from them.

I started a new thread to discuss the Astro-Tech 2" flattener.
