Flat panels

Flat frames are crucial part of astrophotography to remove vignetting and dust moths from your data. Making flats can be quite cumbersome, especially if you stride towards automation and simplification of the process. Our flap panel makes making flat frames with your refractor telescopes part of automated routine, without hacks like LCD screens, sky with T-shirt etc.

To solve this we offer 3 ranges of flat panels:

• motorized flap panels – for telescopes up to about 130mm diameter, open/close and brightness controllable via ASCOM/Indi, optional integrated dew heater
• wall mounted – for larger telescopes, in various sizes, brightness controllable via ASCOM/Indi
• lens flat panel – manual flat panel for lenses, adjustable for different diameters, brightness controllable via ASCOM/Indi

Our flat panels utilize LED technology, to achieve good uniformness and great brightness range – including very dim settings for long exposures.

Diameter for our motorized flap panels can be customised free of charge, so if you don’t find one which suits your telescope, write us to always@deepskydad.com and we’ll find a solution.
