TS Flatfield Panel 20250 Spectrum

TS FlatKiller 20250 Spectrum

Top-of-the-line flatboxes of the latest generation: unique serial numbered specimens, certified continuous spectrum and 20250 light dots for lighting homogeneity unprecedented in the world!

Designed, developed and assembled 100% in Italy, they represents a new level in the world of flat generators, with technical specifications of an unprecedented level:

light generation system based on an innovative ionization technique of photoemitting materials

Certified continuous spectrum light emission, ideal for research and spectroscopy

USB-C interface with ASCOM control as standard, for maximum flexibility in observatory use

standard 12 V DC power supply (power jack 5.5x2.1)

all-digital control panel with 6 storable presets

two ramps of progressive illumination, for full compatibility with all optical systems and imaging trains (system tested from slow system with f/15 with ultranarrow filtering and color camera to standard system f/2 in white light and mono camera)

20250 light-emitting dots, placed by CNC with a special illumination algorithm, to ensure perfect and homogeneous illumination of the entire active surface, down to the extreme edges

compatible with all optical systems from 20 mm to 250 mm optical diameter

availability of adapter flanges made to order for individual and specific optics

100% open and free STP file library for in-house fabrication of reduction flanges to every possible tube diameter in millimeters (the flanges are printable in six separate small wedge modules, specially designed for convenient interlocking and to be made even with small domestic 3D printers)

manuals and software downloadable for free

The problem and its solution:

Making accurate flats, we know, is extremely complex and often makes the difference between a mediocre final image and a WOW effect one!

The Flat Killer 20250s are flat field generators designed specifically to solve this problem for good: no exposures to throw away, no setup too peculiar. Just adjust the parameters correctly and the result is always mind-blowing!

One of the greatest difficulties in realizing accurate, unsaturated flat fields is managing the medium to long integration times required by a variety of CMOS types in order to achieve an accurate outcome and a quality final image. Leveraging dual calibration system technology (slow systems / standard systems), the Flat Killer 20250 allows unprecedented control over the light flux levels exiting the flatbox, ensuring that, if necessary, perfect flats can be acquired even with integrations exceeding 30 seconds! No other flatbox in the world is capable of doing as much!


Quality - certified:

Each unit is entirely assembled in Italy in an artisanal manner, with extreme quality control, starting from the materials adopted and going all the way to the final quality control, passing through an accurate certification of the emission spectrum of each lamp, whose control electronics are balanced in the laboratory with special photometers, so as to guarantee perfect standardization in light emission levels. FlatKiller 20250 also comes with a punctual certification for each specimen, all of which have a unique, numbered, laser-imprinted serial number on the outer metal body; this certification, includes as the final step of quality control the spectroscopic analysis of the lamp´s light emission, which is worth the designation "Spectrum".
