" FOA-60Q is the best optics that Takahashi has ever created, covering full size camera sensor, entire visual spectrum at strehl 0.99 or greater. It yields great image even at 300x."
Taks 125,000 yen with finder makes it $1500 AUD.
OK, I'm asking Claude...release date is 25 March
I think it would be a really nice scope as far as colour correction goes, at F8.8 it seems very long for imagers..... Nice visual grab & go.
I think their claims of 300x are OTT.

Ha, the telescope can handle 300x, but with a exit pupil of only 0.2mm, my eyes will be seeing floaters everywhere.
Just an update to this thread for those who own or plan to buy a FOA-60
I recently designed two adapters for the FOA60 draw tube to allow you to use the Takahashi Camera Angle Adjuster from the Sky90 and to allow the use of T2 components.
I have tested them both on my FOA60 today and they fit perfectly.
My adapters are now available for purchase from Rafael at RAF Camera.
1. M47 x 0.75mm > M56 x 0.75mm
2. M47 x 0.75mm > T2 (M42x0.75mm)
Rafael sells them now for $24.95 each
