130 EDF Starfire Field Flatteners
|
I have a 67PF562 field flattener on my 130 EDF Starfire. I just read that this field flattener isn't ideal for this scope.
I would definitely be interested in one that was optimized for this scope. It would be nice to have a new one without the clunky Pentax 67 outer bayonet mount.

Sorry, but all the older 2.7" focuser versions have the Pentax attachment.

Sorry for the previous blank email.
All this talk of 130EDF Field Flattener made me look in my AP accessories drawer, and I have one I no longer need. It is listed on EBay in the Refractor classifieds.

Sorry again – that of course should have said “listed on Astromart”, not Ebay.

Please let me know if these are going to be produced.
I made the mistake of selling my old flattner. I was thinking the Quad TCC was going to work. Then I found out it is not compatible with the older F6. Now my scope is doing visual only duty since I have to find another one. Max
