Objective unit upgrade FS-60CB to FC-76DCU

Description

You have a Takahashi FC-60CB and you want to upgrade to a more powerful model without investing in a complete product? This kit is made for you. This is a part of the optical tube of the FC-76DCU refractor, including the lens and the dew shield, which comes to replace the tube of the Takahashi FS-60CB telescope. To fit it, simply unscrew the lens from the FS-60CB, fit this kit in its place and that's it; you now have an FC-76DCU refractor.

This kit gives you the possibility to easily have two Takahashi instruments, dismountable and ultra-transportable, for observation or roaming imaging.

Once the kit is assembled, the telescope has all the optical and mechanical properties of the FC-76DCU, including the accessory mounts at the focuser and the system-charts that expose them. You will also need to use the corrector, reducer and focal length extender of the FC-76D scope and not those of the FS-60CB, which have become incompatible.
