TS USB flatfield box with neutral white LED light, dimmable:

With a flatfield image you compensate for uneven illumination of the optics (vignetting), but also for shadows on the sensor caused by dust grains. The image becomes more uniform and thus you can clearly enhance the object and the sky background remains uniform. The result is simply better astrophotos with any telescope or camera lens.

The advantage of LED technology:

♦ LED flat field generators provide a color-neutral image, the individual color channels are evenly strong. This makes the TS-Optics Premium Flatfield Generators well suited not only for monochrome but also for color cameras.

♦ The illumination of the TS-Optics LED Flatfieldbox is very uniform, even at low light intensity, the flatfield generator does not introduce any image artifact into the processing.

♦ Due to the brightness control, longer but also very short exposure times can be realized. This makes the Flatfield generator suitable for all cameras, including those with a mechanical shutter, such as DSLR. With mechanical shutter we recommend at least 2 seconds exposure time.

♦ The LEDs do not flicker, so even very short exposure times with reproducible results are possible.

Stand-alone operation or complete control via computer

The TS Premium Flatfieldbox works independently of the computer. You only need a 12 V power supply. Suitable cables and power supply are linked in the accessories section. Alternatively, you can also control the generator remotely via the computer. This simplifies operation, enables REMOTE use and produces reproducible results. A suitable driver for Windows is included in the scope of delivery.

The computer connection allows you to control your astro images including the FLATS via suitable software, such as the APT.
