The CQ 1.7x module allows current FS-60C owners to convert their model into a FS-60Q model by adding the CQ module to their tube assembly.
The Takahashi FS-60Q is a new version of the FS-60CB. The FS-60Q includes a module which contains a 1.7x extender, which changes the FS-60Q to a 600mm focal length f/10 instrument. This module is offered separately and is compatible with any FS-60C ever made to covert it to the Q when the 1.7x module is attached. This conversion is as simple removing the white tube from the focuser, attaching the 1.7x module to the focuser and then attaching the section with the objective in it to the 1.7x module. The in place extender flattens the image to a 44mm circle with 96% illumination to allow imaging the Moon, planets or a solar eclipse. The larger image scale of the 60mm focal length allows prominences and the corona to be more easily seen or imaged with a digital SLR.
The Takahashi1.7x CQ module is sold separately for the owners of FS-60C which converts them into the FS-60Q with all of the benefits the module enables, by converting it from an f/10 600mm focal length instrument to an f/5.9 354mm wide field instrument that can be used to image at f/6.2 using the dedicated flattener or to f/4.2 with the dedicated reducer. Both devices provide a 44mm image circle which will cover an APS size chip or used at f/10 with a 44mm flat field 95% illuminated to narrow field imaging; or extended with the Extender-Q to 960mm for lunar, nature or eclipse imaging at f/16 with a 40mm image circle.
Takahashi FS-60Q 1.7X CQ features:
- Type: Fluorite 2 +
- Effective aperture: 60mm
- Focal length: 600mm
- Focal ratio: f/10
- Tube diameter: 80mm
- Tube length:
