Posted on Thursday, April 25, 2024 by RUSS SCRITCHFIELD, Associate Editor

The Tele Vue 0.8x Focal Reducer/Flattener is a specialized accessory designed for the Tele Vue 102 telescope. It serves to decrease the focal length by a factor of 0.8, effectively broadening the field of view and improving image flatness. This enhancement is ideal for astrophotography, allowing users to capture clearer, wider images of celestial bodies. Compatible with up to 43 mm diagonal formats, it easily attaches to both the standard 2" focuser and the threaded TV-102iis accessories. This focal reducer is an essential tool for astronomers seeking to optimize their observations and imaging capabilities with the Tele Vue 102 scope.
