Description

I decided to revisit an old target with the Zenithstar 61. I purchased the Williams Optics 61R flattener/.8 reducer which seems to be performing much better than my Astrotech flattener/reducer. The Williams Optics has the adjustable feature and I think this is where the advantage lies. I found that I needed to go out to a back focus of 57.5mm vs the spec of 56mm. I wish all reducers and flatteners included this feature as it's much easier than fighting spacer and shim combinations.
