Takahashi CQ Extender Module

This module acts as a focal extender that transforms your existing Takahashi FS-60CB telescope into an FS-60Q configuration. It effectively increases the focal length by a factor of 1.7x, allowing for higher magnification and a different optical performance profile.

No, the CQ Extender is purpose-built specifically for the FS-60CB. It is engineered to integrate seamlessly with that specific optical train, and it should not be used with other telescope models.

Not at all. Because this is a genuine Takahashi component, it is designed to maintain the high optical standards of your original telescope. You can expect the same level of clarity and sharpness you are accustomed to, just with the added focal length.

Installation is straightforward. The module is designed to fit directly into the optical train behind the objective lens, allowing you to switch configurations without needing complex tools or permanent modifications to your telescope.

Yes, by increasing the focal length by 1.7x, the module effectively changes the focal ratio of your system. This shift is what enables the FS-60CB to perform like the FS-60Q, which is particularly useful for specific types of planetary or lunar observation.
