A Complete Wide-Field Imaging System — Ready to Shoot Out of the Box

The ED80 Triplet APO with 0.8× Focal Reducer and Field Flattener is a fully matched imaging package for astrophotographers who want sharp, fast, color-accurate results without piecing together components separately.

The 0.8× reducer speeds the focal ratio from f/6 to f/4.8, meaning shorter exposures for the same brightness — ideal for large nebulae and wide deep-sky targets. The field flattener ensures stars stay pinpoint all the way to the corners of your sensor, whether you're shooting APS-C or full-frame.

  • Astrophotographers wanting a fast, portable wide-field imaging setup
  • DSLR and dedicated camera users shooting large nebulae or Milky Way structures
  • Anyone who wants a complete, matched system without buying accessories separately

What You Can Image

  • Large emission nebulae: Orion, Rosette, North America, Heart & Soul
  • Wide Milky Way fields and star-forming regions
  • Galaxy groups and open clusters
