Takahashi Mewlon M-210 Reflector OTA

TAKAHASHI FOA-60 ORTHO APOCHROMATIC REFRACTOR

The FOA-60 is a new compact apochromatic fluorite doublet refractor from Takahashi.  The telescope features a 60 mm aperture and a 530 mm focal length.  (It is also available with a 1.7X extender, which increases the focal length to 901 mm.  The version with the 1.7X extender is known as the FOA-60Q.)

The spacing of the doublet elements is such that the correction of the spherical aberrations is similar to that found in the much larger TOA series.  This innovative design results in a Strehl ratio in excess of 96-percent for the base unit – and over 99-percent with the extender.

• Compact design for relatively long focal length, making it ideal for transport
• Outstanding visual and photographic performance, providing a 44 mm diameter image circle for full frame imaging
• Available with a 1.7x extender and a 0.93x flattener

Note:  FOA-60 Shown.  Mount, tripod, tube holder and finder not included.

The TSA series is a member of Takahashi’s line of triplet refractors.  In the TSA design, an ED glass lens is placed between two lenses, with air spacing in between.  The resulting system achieves a high level of apochromatic performance for both visual observation and imaging. \

Two focuser options are available:  the stock Takahashi focuser, or an upgrade to the Feathertouch 3.0 inch focuser kit.

TSA-120

The TSA-120 is a 120 mm apochromatic f/7.5 refractor with a focal length of 900 mm.  It features a retractable lens hood and a 2.7 inch rack and pinion focuser.  The TSA is compatible with several flatteners, reducers and extenders, including the TOA-35 Reducer, which converts the telescope to a f/5.3 imaging platform with a 44 mm image circle.

Optical Tube Assembly only (mount, tripod, tube holder and finder sold separately).
