Can you tell me if the coverage is large enough for a full frame camera? jonobiwan (128 • 10:45 pm, Tue, 12 AugI have only ever used an APS-C sensor with this scope and flattener. I can say it works very well with this size sensor. The description of the flattener below seems to suggest it will work with full frame: https://optcorp.com/products/orion-field-flattener-for-short-refractors?srsltid=AfmBOormK-pxM0rrSAobUxBpdaCQsc-N9pho8lVfeI6Som3J1Z7ybc8X mj.howard (32 • Tuesday, 12 August 2025
