- Provides excellent optical correction across a wide 60 mm image circle.
- Achieves extremely small RMS spot sizes (as low as ~1 micron on‑axis and only ~5 microns at the full 60 mm image circle).
- Includes an adapter ring that lets you use either an M54 or M72 camera connection with the correct backfocus distance.
Takahashi 0.99x Flattener for TOA-130NS/NFB Refractors
The Takahashi 645 0.99x flattener utilizes a doublet lens design with fully multi-coated lenses to maintain well correct images on all compatible telescopes—up to a 60 mm image circle! Designed specifically for the Takahashi TOA-130N—whether you’re using a smaller, full-frame or medium-format sensor, this flattener delivers clean, well-corrected images from the center all the way to the edges. Even with modern cameras that use very small pixels, stars remain tight and well-defined across the entire frame.
This set includes the parts needed for an effortless attachment! The ring adapter has a male M72 threads on the telescope side, and M54 on the camera side. It can be used not only with the TOA-130NFB, but on the TOA-130NS as well! This adapter lets you connect your camera in two ways. With the adapter ring, it uses an M54 thread and positions the camera 56.2 mm from the focuser. Remove the ring, and it fits a female M72 thread, moving the camera slightly farther back to 83.7 mm, ensuring proper focus with different setups.
RMS Spot Diameter
-
On-axis (center of image): RMS spot diameter ~ 1 micron
-
30 mm image circle: RMS spot diameter ~ 2 microns
-
43 mm image circle: RMS spot diameter ~ 3 microns
-
Full 60 mm image circle: RMS spot diameter ~ 5 microns
-
Performance Note: These spot sizes produce nearly aberration-free images, even on the newest cameras with very small pixel sensors.
