Takahashi history up for sale. Scope comes as is without finder scope but it has original finder holder, original tube holder, and original wooden box. Scope has some scratches and paint chips on it with the worst of them pictured. Optics work really well on Jupiter due to the warmer tone the optics produce which I believe help with making detail pop. I’ve had this side by side with a 120mm Refractor and prefer the visual on this one with Jupiter especially. It may be a dimmer image but details are better. The optics have some of coating missing but I assure the buyer that it does not affect the performance. Star test is perfect and airy disc on good nights is really nice. The scope is a semi apo so color correction isn’t perfect but remember this scope is one of Takahashi first attempts at a triplet semi apo .
