The Takahashi FC-76DP features the same fluorite doublet lens as the FC-76DCU and combines it with a larger-diameter, 2-inch focuser. With a 76 mm aperture and a native focal length of 570 mm, it provides a compact platform for astronomical observation and imaging.
The dedicated FU reducer, sold separately, extends the focal length to 365 mm and increases the aperture ratio to F/D 4.8. This configuration allows you to capture a wider field of view while taking advantage of the optical correction designed specifically for this model.
The tube splits into two parts for easy transport. The 95-mm diameter of the mounting area allows for the use of 95WB clamps, with a dovetail designed to fit your mount.
This offer includes the optical tube only. Clamps, the dovetail, and optical accessories must be selected separately based on your setup. For visual observation, add a 50.8 mm extension tube or a compatible right-angle mirror to achieve infinity focus.
The FC/FS Multi-Flattener 1.04× corrector can also be used with the rings specified in the Takahashi diagram, including the L30 extension tube for the corresponding mount. Check the connections and their order before installing the camera.
These accessories are sold separately from the optical tube. For a photographic setup, be sure to use the connectors and spacing specified for your chosen configuration.
The Takahashi FC-76DP is a 76-mm-aperture fluorite doublet refractor with a focal length of 570 mm (f/7.5), designed primarily for deep-sky astrophotography. Its focal length is ideal for medium-sized nebulae (Orion, the Lagoon, the Trifid, and the Rosette), large galaxies such as M33 or the M81-M82 pair, and star clusters. At f/7.5, its classic aperture-to-focal-length ratio requires slightly longer exposure times, but in exchange yields very fine star details.
With an APS-C camera featuring 3.76 µm pixels (Sony IMX571 sensor), you get approximately 1.36″ per pixel for a field of view of 2.4° × 1.6°. With the 0.64× crop factor, this increases to 2.13″ per pixel and a field of view of 3.7° × 2.5°.
Yes, whenever you're using an APS-C or full-frame sensor: like any uncorrected doublet lens, it has a slight field curvature that stretches the stars in the corners. Dedicated correctors: Takahashi 76DP FU 0.64× — Reducer for FC-76DP (equivalent focal length of 365 mm, f/4.8); Takahashi Multi Reducer 0.85×-L for FC-76D (equivalent focal length of 484 mm, f/6.4).
207.1 mm (metal back); 75 mm with MFL 1.04×; 56 mm with 76D RD 0.85× or 76DP FU RD 0.64×. This focal length is measured from the thread to the sensor, including rings, filter wheel, and filter drawer: adhering to this measurement down to the millimeter ensures that stars remain round in the corners.
The tube weighs about 2.3 kg; with the camera, filter wheel, and guide scope, expect it to weigh around 3.8 kg: a small equatorial or harmonic travel mount is sufficient. A refractor requires no collimation: once balanced, it’s ready to use as soon as it reaches operating temperature. At 59.2 cm long, it fits easily in the trunk.
Yes, as a bonus: with an angled mirror and an eyepiece, it provides high-contrast, color-accurate images of the Moon, the planets, and double stars, up to about 152×.
Here are a few accessories we've selected for this model, depending on your needs.
A pair of Takahashi 95WB collars designed for this telescope. The 220B dovetail for the mount is sold separately.
Vixen Takahashi 220B dovetail for 95WB clamps, sold separately. Check your mount's clamping mechanism and balance.
FU 0.64× reducer designed for the FC-76DP. Check the optical connections and the focus adjustment according to the Takahashi diagram.
Optional top bracket for Takahashi 95WB mounts, allowing you to attach accessories. The mounts and lower dovetail are sold separately; check the spacing and balance.
0.85×-L Reducer for FC-76DP: 486 mm configuration and f/6.4. Alternative to the FU 0.64× reducer: use a single reducer and check the connections and focus.
1.04× FC/FS corrector for the FC-76DP, an alternative to reducers. Be sure to use the L30 TKA18006 extension tube and the CA-76 TKA18203 Multi ring; check the connections and focus.
For visual observation, the Takahashi 50.8 mm extension tube (62 mm optical path) allows for focusing to infinity. An angled mirror or suitable prism is an alternative, depending on the mount; check the connections and the Takahashi diagram.
L30 Extension TKA18006 (sold separately) is required for the FC-76DP when setting up a photography setup with the FC/FS Multi-Flattener corrector (already offered) and the separate CA-76 Ring TKA18203. Check the connections, their order, and the focus.
Recommended diameter: 125 mm. Check the measurement and the mounting.
Recommended diameter: 150 mm. Check the measurement and the mounting.
