The focal length reaches 900 mm at f\/15: this configuration is ideal for visual observation with a long focal length, while maintaining a 60 mm aperture. Part number TFA06110 refers to the Q-version tube alone.<\/p>\n<h3>A Q configuration ready to accommodate your accessories<\/h3>\n<p>The extender is included in the optical kit. With it, Takahashi specifies a corrected image circle of 44 mm and a back focus of 208.1 mm. The FOA-60Q configuration allows you to set up visual or photographic setups depending on the accessory selected. The extender can be removed to return to the FOA-60 configuration by following the instructions.<\/p>\n<h3>Fluorite lens and tube assembly<\/h3>\n<p>The air-gap objective features a front fluorite element and is coated with a hard multilayer coating. Focusing is achieved using an FS-60-type rack-and-pinion mechanism. The tube is 702 mm long and 68 mm in diameter, with a retractable dew shield for storage.<\/p>\n<h3>Accessories for Your System<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Install the scope:<\/strong> the <a href=\"https:\/\/deep-space-astronomy.ch\/en\/product\/takahashi-tka02420g-accessoire\/\">68S-GT TKA02420G Symmetrical Necklace<\/a> is designed for the FOA-60 and FOA-60Q.
