Takahashi FS-60Q Refractor OTA

• Two telescopes in one tube. The FS-60Q is an FS-60CB with the EX-CQ1.7X extender built in, giving you a longer F/10 setup for planets and eclipses, with the option to pull the extender and drop back to F/5.9 for deep sky work whenever you want.
• Fluorite glass, doubled down on color. An air-spaced fluorite doublet objective with hard multicoatings keeps chromatic aberration in check, so planetary detail and eclipse photography come through crisp and true to color.
• Long ratio, short learning curve. At F/10 and 600 mm focal length, the FS-60Q's longer ratio delivers the kind of chromatic correction that makes planetary observing and eclipse imaging genuinely memorable.
• Flip to deep sky in seconds. Remove the 1.7X extender and the same scope becomes an FS-60CB at F/5.9 and 355 mm, so you're not locked into one focal length for the whole night.
• Grab-and-go, for real. At just 1.6 kg and 550 mm long, the FS-60Q is small enough to travel anywhere your imaging plans take you.
• Precision hardware from a name astrophotographers trust. Like everything else Takahashi builds, the FS-60Q is engineered to deliver night after night, whether you're at the eyepiece or behind the camera.
