Takahashi FOA-60Q f/15 Fluorite APO Refractor with 1.7x Extender - # TFA06110
Product Details
The Takahashi FOA-60Q refractor was designed to provide a compact instrument capable of delivering exceptional visual performance, similar to that achieved by the TOA series, a true benchmark in this field. Equipped with an apochromatic fluorite lens doublet at an F/D ratio of 15, the FOA-60Q will satisfy the most demanding amateurs. It remains very light, with a weight of only 2.4 kg, and very compact thanks to its retractable dew shield.
The FOA-60Q is simply the best scope in the Takahashi range, with its theoretical Strehl ratio of 99.8%, higher than those of the TOA-130 and TOA-150. The integrated Extender 1.7X can be removed, reducing the F/D ratio to 8.8 and transforming the refractor into a FOA-60.

You are responsible for all applicable taxes and fees that may be imposed by your country or region, including but not limited to import duties, value-added tax (VAT), customs handling fees, and other similar charges.
These import duties, VAT, and customs fees are not included in our product prices or shipping charges.
We have no control over, and cannot predict, these charges or how they will be collected—whether they will be charged at the time of delivery or through other means.
Customs policies vary greatly by country. Some countries (such as Brazil, India, etc.) strictly enforce high duties and additional taxes.
It is your responsibility to check with your local customs office before purchase to determine what additional costs may apply.
Customs fees are usually charged by your local courier or postal service, often at the time of delivery or pick-up. The shipping carrier (especially UPS) may also charge brokerage or clearance fees for handling customs on your behalf. These are not unpaid shipping charges and must be fully covered by you.
If the package is returned, held, or destroyed due to the buyer’s refusal or failure to pay customs duties, any resulting costs will be borne entirely by the buyer. These costs will be deducted from your refund.
