PRODUCT IN THE LIMELIGHT
TAKAHASHI FSQ-106EDX III

Proof that you don't need a large aperture OTA for great deep-sky images!! CLICK HERE for more information.


For some examples of the fantastic images that are possible with the FSQ-106EDX3, please visit the website of master astro-photographer Rogelio Bernal Andreo

Great images taken with the TAKAHAHSI FSQ-106ED 4" Quadruplet Refractor
Segaull Nebula M31 IC443 WitchHead Nebula
Seagull Nebula Galaxy M31 Jellyfish Nebula IC443 Witch Head Nebula IC2118

Rosetter Nebula NGC 2377 - Merv Milward (25/1/2012) M45 - taken with FSQ-85EDX
Click to enlarge the images.
Were these image taken with an 8" or 10" astrograph?.
NO!
These were actually taken with TAKAHASHI's
'baby' astrograph - the FSQ-85EDX.

These two pictures of the Rosette Nebula (NGC2377) and The Pleiades (M45) was taken by Merv Millward from Tasmania, using a Takahashi FSQ-85EDX without a focal reducer, and mounted on the very stable and accurate Takahashi EM-200 Temma-2M mount.

Click HERE to see what the combination of expert astro-photographers, like Marcus Davies, and great instruments like the TAKAHASHI TOA-150B Apochromatic Refractor can do!

Astro-Images taken by Dave Stanicic using FS-60CB and TOA-130
Dave Stanicic - FS60CB Astrophotograph
This great image shows what even the smallest Takahashi refractor, the FS-60CB, is capable of when used as an astrograph. Further proof that you do not necessarily need larger apertures to take great images!
Dave Stanicic - TOA130 Astrophotograph
This image was taken with the old model TOA-130 5" APO Refractor... You could just imagine what results you could get with the new improved TOA-130NS! Obviously you do not need a 10" instrument to obtain photos like this!

TAKAHASHI Professional-Standard LE Eyepieces
Here is a typical example of the feedback we get on these oculars:

"The Takahashi LE 30mm is absolutely superb. Colour rendition, resolution and contrast are of the highest order. The best value for money I have had returned in a long time. Thank you." (Clay Reid - Clare, SA)


TAKAHASHI Extra-Wide-Field (90°) Eyepieces
Takahashi LE and Hi-LE Eyepieces are well known to be the best eyepieces on the market for sharpness, colour correction, contrast and resolution; now Takahashi has expanded their range of professional-standard eyepieces with the new
TAK-UW Extra-Wide-Field (90°) Series

There is no doubt that TAKAHASHI make the best telescope optics on the market! Their TSA-102S, for example, is not called the SUPER Apochromat for nothing! As U.S. expert refractor-reviewer, Larry Carlino, stated at the end of his TSA-102 review:

"...As to the optics, it's pretty difficult to improve upon perfection!"

TAKAHASHI'S Incredible TOA-130 Refractor
CLICK HERE to read the Article

  TAKAHASHI ENGINEERS HAVE BEEN DESIGNING THE BEST APOCHROMATIC REFRACTOR OPTICS FOR A VERY LONG TIME. IN FACT TAKAHASHI OPTICS IN GENERAL ARE WELL-KNOWN FOR THEIR HIGHEST CONTRAST, PERFECT COLOUR CORRECTION, AND SUPERIOR SHARPNESS! BUT THERE IS MORE - TAKAHASHI 'TSA' AND 'TOA' SERIES OF REFRACTORS SHOW AN UNMATCHED 'STREHL RATIO' OF 0.992!! THIS MEANS THAT THESE REFRACTORS ARE WITHIN 99.2% OF PERFECTION!! - WHEN WE THINK THAT A 0.95 STREHL RATIO IS CONSIDERED EXCELLENT, IT IS NO WONDER THAT AN ARTICLE IN ASTRONOMICS CONCLUDES BY SAYING :

"...QUITE SIMPLY PUT, THE TAKAHASHI 'TOA' AND 'TSA' OPTICS HAVE NO EQUAL!"
