VIXEN Flattener HD Kit for FL55SS Telescope Accessory
The Vixen Flattener HD Kit for the FL55SS telescope comprises a high-performance flattener lens and a connecting tube ring to dramatically improve your prime focus astrophotography. By correcting aberrations on the periphery of the photographic field of view, this kit ensures a flat focal plane and exceptionally sharp star images.
Key Features
- Designed specifically for the FL55SS telescope to deliver sharp star images right to the edge of the photographic field.
- Provides a generous 44mm image circle that fully supports full frame DSLR camera imaging sensors.
- Retains an outstanding 96 percent illuminated field of view to minimise the drop-off of light at the periphery.
- Features advanced anti-reflection AS coatings on each lens surface to guarantee extremely high contrast images.
- Utilises elaborate matte-finishes to eliminate internal reflections and ensure maximum light transmission.
This premium kit allows astrophotographers to capture stunning, high-contrast images of faint nebulae and star clusters without the hassle of extensive digital correction. It is the perfect optical accessory to elevate your astrophotography to a professional standard.
Sharp star images throughout a photographic field of full frame DSLR cameras
The flattener HD for FL55SS improves off-axis image quality greatly with a minimum change of the focal length. It secures an image circle of 44mm that covers imaging sensors of full frame DSLR cameras.
A minimum loss of light toward the edge of photographic field. A 96% of rich illuminated field of view is adequate for the full-size imaging sensors
Generally astrophotographers are annoyed with the drop-off of light toward the edge of illuminated field of view when taking faint deep-sky objects with a telephoto lense or dedicated astrophoto instrument. Although this may be corrected by complicated image processing on a PC, it all depends on the image quality of an original photograph. The flattener HD kit solves this problem as it works to keep a large 96% illuminated field of view at the very edge of a 44mm image circle. You will feel no hint of light loss if used with a full frame DSLR camera. Astrophotography of nebulae and star clusters are fun with the flattener HD Kit.

Standard telephoto lens or astrograph
Ultimate light transmission coatings for extremely high contrast images
The same anti-reflection AS coatings that are used for our high-end VSD100F3.8 renowned for extremely high light transmission (99.9% per surface) are provided on each of the lens surfaces fo the flattener HD lens. Besides, elaborate matte-finishes are given to eliminate internal reflections and loss of light completely.
