This 0.8X focal reducer/field flattener is designed specifically for prime focus astrophotography with the SVBONY SV550 122mm f/7 apo refractor. The fully-multicoated reducer/flattener converts the 854mm focal length f/7 refractor into a 683.2mm f/5.6 system for faster and wider field astronomical and terrestrial photography. In addition to reducing the focal length of the telescope and thereby increasing the photographic speed, the flattens the normal field curvature inherent in refractors. This provides images that are sharply focused out to the corners of DSLR and CCD imaging chips. The reducer/flattener threads into the focuser for a secure connection. The threading is metric 63x1. Back focus is 55mm from the shoulder of the reducer to the image plane, the standard spacing for DSLR camera bodies.
