Apochromatic objective with Fluorite doublet
Its first quality comes from its apochromatic objective with a Fluorite doublet of 60mm of aperture, often outperforming larger refractors with lesser optics. The FS-60 will astonish more than one just the purist. When one knows what one can obtain from an excellent short focal length optic (F=355mm, F/D 5,9) in imaging, we immediately understand all the advantage of this small compact and transportable telescope.

Exceptional mechanics
Excellent Takahashi mechanics propels the FS-60CB to the top of the refractors of this category. Its rack-and-pinion focuser is designed for astrophotography and CCD imaging. A thumb screw maintains the focuser in position whatever the direction you are pointing.
