William Optics Adjustable reducer flattener Flat73R for Z73
New, dedicated 2" flattener by William Optics optimized for use with their Z73 Zenithstar OTA. Designed for APS-C size or smaller imaging chips (not for use with full-frame cameras).
Features an M63 male thread for a direct threaded connection to the Z73 on the telescope side.
On the camera side, the flattener has a male M48x0.75 thread. You can use your Canon or Nikon DSLR directly with the use of an optional M48 camera-specific T-ring (sold separately). With this, your camera chip will be placed at the correct 55mm working distance.
Note that you cannot use this with the smaller T rings that have a 42mm T thread.
The WO Flat73R also has a female M48x0.75 (2" filter thread) on the inside to which you can attach standard 2" filters. To access this thread, you need to unscrew the telescope adapter portion of this flattener.
A very neat fature of this item is that a rotator/camera angle adjuster is built into the mechanism of this item, making a separate rotator unnecessary.
