About this product

Model:  deepskydad_redcat51_flat_panel_noheater
Part Number:  FLAP100-80-82

Making flats can be cumbersome, especially if not part of an automated routine. The DAD flap panel makes making flat frames a lot easier. 

While you image, the flap panel is tucked neatly alongside the refractor tube. When you finish, flip it into place and turn on the dimmable LED light.

You can adjust brightness according to your camera responsiveness/gain settings and filters. 

For those operating in high humidity conditions, the DAD can also be purchased with an integral heater, to keep dew at bay.

Automated flats
11 October 2022  | 

Bought this to help creating flats for ASI249MC which can be sensitive to exposure time and so fustrating when using the 'tee-shirt' method. The ASCOM drivers allows setting LED level, and opening/closing the shutter, and in turn it can be controlled in a NINA sequence - allowing a nights photographing and calibration to be automated. 4 stars as the 3D printed items feel slightly 'flimsy', but in practise so far its stood up to some rough handling. Suffice to say I have now bought another panel to use on my Askar 600 telescope. Please note it is not directly supported by the ASIAIR, but the panel can be operated through a PC application (or manually using the button on the unit) so can be used in an ASIAIR system.

Redcat flat flip panel
22 October 2021  | 

I saw one at a star party an wanting to improve my flats decided to get one. Instant delivery and well packed. Although its a 3d printed item it looked good enough for the job intended but sadly the locking bolt on the tube clamp had been cross threaded an was useless. I managed with some difficulty to remove it as it was a captive nut and replaced it. FLO gave me a small refund . In use it works as intended but I use the asiair pro so I can not use it remotely However the download files include a control panel for my laptop and the brightness can be preset. As I mostly use a zw294mc with a filter, once the setting has been found all you need is a power source and the manual button turns the preset light on or off. A friend brought one an is a computer programmer so you can guess he has already written a programme to sort all his flats his way meaning the unit has great promise.
