Takahashi FS 60 CSV or Q - sale or trade

[Stephan]

I want to buy some more equipment, so something else has to go. I am reluctantly selling my FS-60 Q. Everything is for sale individually now.

Here is what I have:
FS-60 CSV OTA (RP about $1200) ....... was $800 ... now $750
Tube ring (RP $150)............................wa s $100 ... now $90
Q1.7 extender (RP $455).....................$400
CAA Rotator (RP $280)........................$170 - sold

I would also consider trading or partial trade if you have anything that I am looking for. I am looking for the following items:

- Feather Touch Focuser FTF2025BCR
- Berlebach tripod 'Report 372' or similar
- Gitzo GT5533LS tripod
- AOK swiss AYOII mount
- GIRO Ercole mount
- Pentax XO-5 (1.25")

Thanks for watching, Stephan

Just for clarification: The FS-60 CB becomes an FS-60 Q once the Q1.7 adapter is attached (see the last picture). Takahashi also sells the FS-60 Q as a unit with the Q1.7 adapter already screwed in. Of course, the Q.17 extender can be removed and then it becomes an FS-60 CB. In the FS-60 CB configuration, it is a doublet-lens system and in the FS-60 Q configuration, it is a quadruplet-lens system. The Q1.7 acts as an 1.7x extender that also flattens the field. But not only that, it further improves the correction of the system and thus, is good for both, visual observation and photography (at F10).

The Sky-90 reducer/flattener reduces the F ratio from the native F5.9 to F4.7 and flattens the field. Together with the Q1.7 extender that gives two options for photography F10 (600mm) or F4.7 (280mm). AEC has a flattener F5.9 = 355mm) and another reducer (F4.2 = 255mm) available giving 2 more photographic options. Very few telescopes can provide that many photographic options and are also excellent for visual observation.

I am offering everything separately now.

Unfortunately the CAA was the wrong size for me, so the CAA is also still available, but it'll probably have to go through me.

I am open to sell or trade. Please see original listing for items that I am interested in.

Thanks!
