Takahashi FS-78

The Takahashi FS-78 has diffraction-limited apochromatic optics that produce crisp and high contrast images without any secondary colour that is inherrent in other refractors.

This highly portable telescope is an ideal choice for astronomers who frequently travel to remote sites for observations of solar eclipses etc.
