LUNT CAA-RF 0.8x field reducer/flattener for night photography with LS80MT, LS100MT and LS130MT spotting scopes

LUNT CAA-RF 0.8x field reducer/flattener for night photography with LS80MT, LS100MT and LS130MT telescopes

Field flattener and focal length reducer for deep sky astrophotography. Designed for the LS80MT, LS100MT and LS130MT series multi-purpose APO telescopes from Lunt-Solar-Systems.

In the Lunt Solar Systems MT series telescopes, the H-Alpha filter unit for solar observation can be removed, then these telescopes can be used as high quality ED APO's for observing and photographing the night sky.
This accessory for the LS80MT, LS100MT and LS130MT telescopes shortens the focal length by a factor of 0.8x, providing a larger field of view for deep sky astrophotography. This also allows for shorter exposure times. At the same time, the field of view is flattened for photography.

On the camera side, the field reducer/flattener has a T2 male thread (M42x0.75). DSLR cameras can be connected here directly with a normal T2 ring.
For other cameras, a female M39x0.75 thread is available in addition to the male T2 thread. The distance between the field reducer/flattener and the camera sensor should be about 50 to 55 mm. Normal T2 extension sleeves can be used to achieve this distance.

On the telescope side, the following connections are provided: 2 inch socket, male thread M54x0.75, male thread M63x1 and male thread M68x1.
