The AT115EDT has become one of the most popular imaging refractors we sell — 115mm of FK-61 triplet glass at 805mm f/7, enough aperture and focal length to frame mid-size deep-sky targets with real detail. But like any refractor at f/7, the field curves. Stars in the center are sharp. Stars at the edges stretch. That's not a flaw in the scope — it's what a curved focal plane does to a flat sensor. And it's exactly what a dedicated field flattener is designed to fix. The AT115EDTFF is a 1× flattener built specifically for the AT115EDT.
