The new Q telescope has significantly longer backfocus at 178mm to accommodate most CCD systems and visual observers. Many CCD imagers have additional equipment in the light path such as filter wheels, adaptive optics, temperature control focusers and other accessories that take up precious focus travel. The new version has additional backfocus to accommodate most CCD equipment and even allows the use of binoviewers! The Takahashi FSQ-106ED telescope also has a new super-duty 4" focuser with a built in camera angle adjuster. This focuser will lift up to 5kg, or 11lbs, and includes a 10 to 1 microfocuser. Takahashi has redesigned the optical system to a modified four element double ED Petzval system. This F5 optical system is optimized for imaging, yet it is also capable of outstanding visual images. Use the optional F3.6 (wow!) focal reducer for imaging applications and the optional Extender-Q for visual use at F8. Another improvement on the new Takahashi FSQ106ED is the enhanced portability due to a new retractable dew shield. The Takahashi FSQ106ED is airline portable at only 16.7" long when collapsed!
