Classy Flattener/Reducer

08 September 2022 | Steven

I bought one for these for my f/6.8 WO 80mm EDII refractor. Fits perfectly and adjusted to required 5.2mm back focus. This is as usual, a solidly constructed, well designed accessory from WO. Thanks to Alex for the support from FLO.

William Optics Zenithstar 81 APO

perfect support from FLO, I originally ordered the wrong flattener, but in the end Chris advised me what would suit my camera, it was not a problem to cancel the order and create a new one. I highly recommend this store

Solid Item, Does the Job

26 April 2022 | Olly

The WO Adjustable Flat6A III 0.8x Reducer / Flattener is solidly built and has a graduated scale for accurate back focus adjustment. I use this on my GT71 with a WO Camera Rotator, this enables me to rotate the Camera Rotator, rather than the camera to adjust back focus. Just need to sort out some optical train tilt now but I wholeheartedly recommend this product.

Nice piece of hardware

23 January 2021 | Alec

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.

Pure quality as always from WO and great service from FLO, also it came in space grey as my scope is how lucky was I.

William Optics Adjustable Flat6A III 0.8x Reducer / Flattener

22 March 2020 | Timothy

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.
