Takahashi FSQ106ED

Takahashi FSQ106ED

Supplied to a previous owner by AEC in September 2014. Serial number #14089.

Also included:
1. Genuine Takahashi FSQ106ED hard case valued at $850
2. Takahashi Extender-Q 1.6 (50.8mm/2") model, a five element ED extender and flattener specific to the FSQ 106ED (New $469)
3. Tube Holder (Clamshell) ($298)
4. Finder bracket ($44)
5. Finder scope 6x30 ($135)
6. M92 extension tube 86mm (non-genuine)

While this scope performs well with smaller sensors (and visually too I expect), the collimation is not perfect and with small pixels on large full frame sensors stars are not perfect in the corners.

Here are links to three high-res sample images:

I'm open to offers and happy to offer a refund if you're not happy after a week (return shipping at buyers expense). I will be at ASV Messier Star Party at Heathcote next weekend (Saturday 14th March) so can deliver there for sale or for testing.

cheers
Phil
