This configuration is particularly well-suited for planetary observation. The finder scope, its mount, and the mounting collar are sold separately.<\/p>\n<p>The 60-mm objective is an air-spaced apochromatic doublet, with the fluorite element at the front. Combined with the 1.7\u00d7 extender, it forms a four-element lens assembly. Takahashi describes a flat field and optimized chromatic correction for this f\/10 configuration, which is designed specifically for planetary observation.<\/p>\n<h3>Upgrading from the FS-60Q to the FS-60CB<\/h3>\n<p>The manufacturer recommends removing the extender to return to an FS-60CB configuration with a 355 mm focal length and f\/5.9 aperture. This second configuration is described as better suited for deep-sky imaging. Removing or installing the extender allows you to choose the configuration that best suits your needs. The 550 mm length and 1.6 kg weight listed here are for the tube in the FS-60Q configuration.<\/p>\n<p>To set up the instrument, distinguish between the optical components that make up the tube and the mounting or sighting accessories. The assembly diagram and instructions available on the Takahashi product page will help you prepare your chosen configuration before selecting additional adapters.<\/p>\n<h3>Frequently asked questions<\/h3>\n<p><strong>How does it differ from the TSK06300NR package?<\/strong><br \/>The kit adds the TKA00551 6\u00d730 finder scope, its TKA00562 mount, and the TKA20420Q 80QS clamp to the TSK06310 tube. These accessories are not included with the tube alone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do I need to buy the extender separately to get the 600 mm?<\/strong><br \/>No: The FS-60Q described here includes the configuration with the 1.7\u00d7 CQ extender. The official focal length to use is 600 mm at f\/10.<\/p>\n<h3>Manufacturer's documentation<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/takahashi-europe.com\/catalog\/refractors\/doublets\/fs-60\/fs-60q-refractor-ota\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Takahashi TSK06310 Official Spec Sheet<\/a> : Specifications and identification of this part number.<\/p>\n<h3>Accessories for Your System<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/deep-space-astronomy.ch\/en\/product\/takahashi-tka00551-chercheur-6x30\/\">6 x 30 (8\u00b0) Crosshair Scope (TKA00551)<\/a> : optional accessory, sold separately.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/deep-space-astronomy.ch\/en\/product\/takahashi-tka20420q-collier\/\">Collar for FC-76DC \/ FS-60Q (80 mm) (TKA20420Q)<\/a> : optional accessory, sold separately.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Takahashi FS-60Q 60-mm telescope with built-in 1.7\u00d7 CQ extender: 600 mm at f\/10 for observation, and a 355-mm configuration at f\/5.9 when the extender is removed.
