NGC7000 nebula by Maxime Delin
The Takahashi FS-60CB refractor is the ultimate mobile instrument. It combines first-class optical and mechanical qualities with outstanding compactness.
It can easily be used for astronomical or terrestrial observation. Photographers will transform it into a wide field astrograph or a guiding instrument. A focal reducer (F/4.2) and a field corrector (FL-FS-60C or multi-flattener FC/FS MFL1.04X) are available as options for this purpose. A 1.7x extender (F/10) allows the refractor to be upgraded to the so-called FS-60Q version. A wide range of accessories adapts the FS-60 to your specific needs.
The FS-60CB's main advantage is its air-spaced apochromatic fluorite doublet, manufactured with the same care as all the Takahashi larger diameter telescopes. Performances will surprise many a purist. Takahashi's mechanical excellence makes the FS-60CB one of the best refractors of this diameter available on the market. Lightweight and compact, the FS-60CB will delight all observers with its versatility.
