Astrophotography with optional flattener<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With the Flat61 flattener, you can also use the GS61 for astrophotography. Ideal for small cameras and compact setups. This way you get sharp images without the hassle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easy focusing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Helicoidal focusing is through the dew cap. Loosen the ribbed counter ring, slide the hood to focus, and tighten again. The back has a retractable extension for added flexibility. So you'll always find the perfect focus quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
