Takahashi TSA-120

Takahashi's latest refractor (November 2009) has the same optical design as its smaller brother, the TSA-102 which has been such a popular choice for people wanting a superior 4-inch telescope.

Its triplet objective is made from an FPL-63 extra-low-dispersion glass between two crown elements to eliminate chromatic aberration. These elements are separated by air spaces which cuts out any of the problems associated with oil-spacing, such as leakage and increasing opacity with age.

TSA stands for Triplet Super Apochromat - as close to perfection as you can get.

TAKAHASHI

Takahashi's latest refractor on the EM-11 Temma-2M mount and FC-L wooden tripod.

Views through the air-spaced triplet telescope are pin-sharp right across the field of view with no chromatic aberration. The mount tracks smoothly and accurately. Its built-in polar scope allows very accurate alignment for the astrophotographer and its low error levels leave the autoguider a simple task to lock onto a quide star.

TAKAHASHI

Takahashi's latest refractor on the newly improved EM200 Temma-2M mount and tripod. An excellent combination providing superior performance both optically and mechanically.

Views through the air-spaced triplet telescope are pin-sharp right across the field of view with no chromatic aberration. And the rock-steady mount tracks smoothly and accurately. Its built-in polar scope allows very accurate alignment for the astrophotographer and its low error levels leave the autoguider a simple task to lock onto a quide star.

The EM-200 mount will carry a payload of 18kg (twice the capacity of the EM-11) so is more suitable if you plan to load up your telescope with significant amounts of auxillary equipment.
