NEW SkyWatcher Field Flattener for Evoguide 50 ED
Provides an evenly illuminated flat field.
Features & Specification
Everything as expected, nice metal screw caps in both ends.
Construction seems fine although the lock ring on the front of the lens was a little loose. Delivery time was great considering it was over seas. My only complaint would be that the item was obviously used with dust all over the lens…it should have been appropriately sold as open box not as a new item .
Response:
We 100% never sell returned / open items as new - everything of this nature goes straight to our clearance / offers section. The only explanation for this will be that it left the factory in this condition or, it was opened by customs during shipping.We are sorry it arrived in this state.
Again a quality piece of kit from SkyWatcher even the end caps are metal , a light and very usable addition to the already versatile evoguide 50ed scope .
I haven't had a change for first light with this yet, because of course it has been cloudy since this shipped. However, I love my EvoGuide 50ED so much more than other guide scopes (really I do!) that I felt the ED doublet deserved the accompanying flattener. This will still primarily serve as a guide scope for me, but I will also play with imaging using it.

Flat stars to the edge, very nice product. I just wish the specs were listed on the webpage. Does it reduce at all? What's the % ect. No info given. Frustrating. It does yield flat stars to the edge!
No. Guiding software is only interested in the centre of the star and is usually very tolerant of star shape so a flattener is not necessary.
