Do you have a Sky Watcher Esprit?
They should come with a flattener.

If it's the ED range which is the doublets then a field flattener is required, otherwise the Esprits as Colin said come with a flattener buit in.

Sorry if it came across that way, the flatteners aren't built in to the Esprit like some of the flat field Astrographs. The Esprit is a standard triplet but does come with a 2-3 element flattener that can be screwed into the focuser.

Yep I misunderstood the blurb as well This is what it says about the espirit "The included 2-element field corrector guarantees a flat field across the entire imaging plane."
