Takahashi FS-60

Well known baby Tak - light weight, wide field scope that punches above it's weight - see my narrowband image of NGC3372. An experienced imager thought this was taken with an FSQ-106. If you don't have the money to spend on a large sensor, this small focal length scope gives you the ability to shoot widefield with more modest sensors.

I've loaded this one up with accessories including the microfocuser, camera angle adjuster, flattener and T-mount adapter (for Nikon).

I've also had a Precise Parts adapter made to give the appropriate back focus from the flattener to the T-Mount thread of a QSI500/600WS (35mm back focus). There is an additional spacer to suit the back focus of a ZWO1600MM and filter wheel.

Current new prices from Claude:
FS-60CB $1105
Flattener $305
CAA $280
Microfocuser $310
Wide T-Mount Adapter (Nikon) $85
Tube Holder $150
Total $2280.

I have the original boxes for shipping.

$1500 plus shipping

(And in case you're wondering where the inscription is around the objective, it appears Takahashi stopped doing this a few years ago - Link)
