Every refractor naturally produces a slightly curved field of focus; a flat camera sensor cuts through this, causing stars in the corners to stretch into streaks. A flattener corrects this curvature, ensuring stars remain small and round all the way to the corners. Especially with this fast doublet and larger sensors, the correction makes the difference between soft and sharp corners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You screw the flattener directly onto the focuser: no loose adapters, no wobbly clamp connection. The scale-marked adjustment ring sets the backfocus; once found, you dial in the same value each session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/William-Optics-Flattener-Flat73A-voor-ZenithStar-73-5.jpg\" alt=\"William Optics Flat73A Flattener for ZenithStar 73\" title=\"\"><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/William-Optics-Flattener-Flat73A-voor-ZenithStar-73-4.jpg\" alt=\"William Optics Flat73A Flattener for ZenithStar 73\" title=\"\"><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/William-Optics-Flattener-Flat73A-voor-ZenithStar-73-3.jpg\" alt=\"William Optics Flat73A Flattener for ZenithStar 73\" title=\"\"><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/William-Optics-Flattener-Flat73A-voor-ZenithStar-73-2.jpg\" alt=\"William Optics Flat73A Flattener for ZenithStar 73\" title=\"\"><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/William-Optics-Flattener-Flat73A-voor-ZenithStar-73-1.jpg\" alt=\"William Optics Flat73A Flattener for ZenithStar 73\" title=\"\"><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/William-Optics-Flattener-Flat73A-voor-ZenithStar-73.jpg\" alt=\"William Optics Flat73A Flattener for ZenithStar 73\" title=\"\"><\/figure><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8d39b2df wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:38%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/William-Optics-Flattener-Flat73A-voor-ZenithStar-73-4.jpg\" alt=\"William Optics Flat73A Flattener for ZenithStar 73\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:62%\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On the train<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The camera side is M48; with the William Optics M48 adapter for your bayonet, the sensor is directly at the correct distance.
