Its three-element apochromatic objective places the fluorite element between two glass elements. It is designed to reduce chromatic aberration and preserve fine details during lunar and planetary observation.<\/p>\n<p>The 114-mm-diameter tube and retractable dew shield make installation and storage easy. This design provides a versatile platform for observation and photography when used with the appropriate optical accessories.<\/p>\n<h3>The Development of the DS Version<\/h3>\n<p>The DS version emphasizes visual observation with a conventional rack-and-pinion system, without a gear reduction. It features the same fluorite objective as the DF version but with a simpler focusing mechanism.<\/p>\n<h3>Editing and Content<\/h3>\n<p>This offer includes the optical tube only. The collars and mount should be selected based on your setup. In photography, the FC\/FS Multi-Flattener 1.04\u00d7 corrector or the FC-35 0.66\u00d7 reducer are used with the adapters shown in the corresponding Takahashi diagram. These optical accessories are sold separately.<\/p>\n<h3>Accessories for Your System<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/deep-space-astronomy.ch\/en\/product\/takahashi-tka23420-collier-114s\/\">Collar for FCT-114D (114 mm diameter) (TKA23420)<\/a> : Select the option that best suits your setup.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/deep-space-astronomy.ch\/en\/product\/takahashi-tka34420\/\">Double Clamps for FCT-114D (114 mm diameter) (TKA34420)<\/a> : Select the option that best suits your setup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Taking Photos with the New FCT-L Accessories<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/deep-space-astronomy.ch\/en\/product\/reducteur-focale-takahashi-fct-l-08x\/\">Takahashi FCT-L 0.8x Focal Reducer<\/a> allows the FCT-114DS to be used at 639 mm and f\/5.6, with an image circle of 44 mm.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/deep-space-astronomy.ch\/en\/product\/correcteur-champ-takahashi-fct-l-099x\/\">Takahashi FCT-L 0.99x Field Corrector<\/a> flattens the field while maintaining a focal length of 795 mm at f\/7.0, with an image circle of 55 mm.<\/p>\n<p>These two accessories are sold separately and use the FCT-L CO 114D ring, which is compatible with the FCT-114DS.
