Takahashi
Takahashi Seisakusho of Tokyo, Japan has been producing fluorite apochromatic refracting telescopes since they introduced the 90mm f/10 FC-90 in 1979. This revolutionized amateur astronomy as the world's first fluorite apochromatic telescope in regular production. Since that time Takahashi has not only produced fluorite apochromats up to 250mm but also equatorial mounts and a variety of state-of-the-art telescopes such as the FSQ-106N, Hyperbolic Astrographs, Newtonian-Cassegrains and Dall-Kirkham Cassegrains. Some of the current favorites include the Sky 90, TOA130, TOA150 and the TSA-102S.
Takahashi produces equatorial mounts from the ultra-compact Teegul Sky Patrol 2 to the 350lb. capacity, 2.5 arc-second accurate EM-3500 observatory mount. All Takahashi metal castings are sand cast from their own factory located near their Urii, Japan fabrication facility. The most popular mounts are the EM200 Temma 2 and the smaller EM-11 Temma 2.
OPT is proud to sell Takahashi products, in fact, several members of our sales staff at OPT own and use Takahashi refractors and mounts for visual and imaging applications.
