Paired with the included 1.7x extender this telescope has a focal ratio of f\/15 and is a premium visual and imaging refractor. Large 44mm imaging circle and over 99% Strehl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FOA-60Q is simply the best scope in the Takahashi range, with its theoretical Strehl ratio of 99.8%, higher than those of the TOA-130 and TOA-150. The integrated Extender 1.7X can be removed, reducing the F\/D ratio to 8.8 and transforming the refractor into a FOA-60.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTakahashi brings you a compact apochromatic fluorite doublet refractor, the FOA-60Q.  This 60mm refractor has a focal length of 530mm and is paired with the Takahashi 1.7x extender for an even longer effective focal length of 901mm or approximately f\/15.  This exceptionally long focal length refines image quality for clear, color-free views of the planets, Moon and allows you to image at high magnification deep sky objects. By adjusting the spacing of the doublet lens design spherical aberrations are resolved similarly to larger telescopes found in the Takahashi TOA series with a Strehl ratio of over 99% with the extender in place.  The Takahashi FOA-60Q apochromatic refractor is a ultra compact and very portable despite its long focal length, which is a rarity. Though designed for a premium visual experience, the large 44mm image circle means this 60mm telescope can support full frame imaging as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*** OTA Only.  Mount, finder and tube holder not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTakahashi FOA-60Q Ortho APO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e(mount, tripod, tube holder and finder sold separately)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManual \u0026amp; Warranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/astronomyplus.com\/pages\/takahashi-warranty\"\u003eTakahashi 5-Years Warranty\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/telescopes.net\/amfile\/file\/download\/file\/378\/product\/81126\/\" class=\"am-filelink\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTakahashi Telescope Backfocus Table\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Takahashi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68071283228901,"sku":"TAK-TFA06110","price":2324.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6245\/2965\/files\/tfa06110_foa-60q_ota_1_09a84dbc-c5bc-45ad-bf93-32a5761a5d77.jpg?v=1794251013","url":"https:\/\/astronomyplus.com\/products\/takahashi-foa-60q-60mm-f-15-ortho-apo-tfa06110","provider":"Astronomy Plus – Telescopes \u0026 Astrophotography Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
