Nice piece of hardware

Just got my GT71 with this flattener.
I made couple of shots this the telescope - amazing picture quality even compared with my 200mm reflector (and is not so demanding to the mount and guiding of course).
Didn't fit the flattener yet - I am confused with the numbers above - if one subtracts recommened adjustable distance from the backfocus distance from the table, one gets 53mm, not 55mm.
WO website has the different by this exact 2mm numbers. Probably this should be fixed?
I'm eager to test the whole setup next night anyway.

William Optics Adjustable Flat6A III 0.8x Reducer / Flattener
Sunday, 22 March 2020  | 

I have finally had the opportunity to try this out in combination with an older - Zenithstar -Williams 110 mm F 7.0 refractor. Connection required the M63 adapter nosepiece. The reducer/ flattener does an excellent job. Nice round stars right to the edge of a field that has increased just as expected for 0.8X reduction. FLO did an excellent job of sorting out the adapter problem (which I hadn't originally appreciated) and chasing it up for me as soon as it came available.
