Founder Optics 2" Dual Thread Adapter with M54x0.75 Male Thread to Attach Field Flattener to FOT86 Telescope # DTA-RED2. Field flattener sold separately.
- Designed for Founder Optics reducer and field flattener use
- Best choice for advanced refractor astrophotography
- Captures the best image through the mechanical stability connection
- Different from traditional mechanical connection - stabilizes connection by using thread adapter instead of tension adapter or screw
- Reduces the gap from every mechanical unit to get a good collimation for the best image shot
- High precision machining thread to give the best connection between draw tube and field flattener/reducer
- Adjust adapter ring to position camera in the correct direction. (only 2’’ will need to adjust as 2 pieces. 2.7’’ is one piece)
How to use:
Step 1: Get ready the dual thread adapter. (Manufacturer will set this up for you, you will receive the product with the ring at the right position already. This step is just for your reference if you remove the ring by accident.) 
Step 2: Remove 2’’ barrel from field flattener/ reducer and install the dual thread adapter.
Step 3: Connect the adapter with the flattener/reducer (and T2 ring mount) to the telescope.
Step 4: Connect to the camera (CCD or DSLR camera).
Disassembly:
- Remove the camera from the T2 ring mount first.
- Rotate the adapter ring counterclockwise to release the whole set of the dual threaded adapter and the field flattener/reducer, then separate all the components step by step.
