FS-60CB
Instruction Manual

TAKAHASHI
Thank you very much for your purchase of the TAKAHASHI Fluorite
Refractor FS-60CB. Very compact, but with use of fluorite element,
FS-60CB can produce various focal lengths with its dedicated
reducer, flattener, and extender. In order to use your telescope in
its highest possible capabilities, please read this instruction manual
very carefully and familiarize yourself with all the functions that your
telescope offers.
All the telescopes are strictly inspected before shipment, but if
there is anything wrong with your telescope, please contact your
authorized Takahashi distributors for cares.

NEVER ATTEMPT TO OBSERVE THE SUN
THROUGH THIS TELESCOPE WITHOUT DANGER

BLINDNESS. COVER THE FINDER WITH
AN OPAQUE COVER TO PREVENT ANY
LIGHT FROM COMING THROUGH. AN
UNCOVERED FINDER CAN ALSO CAUSE
SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE EYE. KEEP
CHILDREN AWAY FROM THE TELESCOPE
DURING DAYTIME.

CAUTION
◆ When placing the tube assembly on to an equatorial mount,
be careful to place the tube in the tube holder. This will prevent
injury to fingers and will prevent it from falling to the ground.
◆ Always lay the tube assembly on a completely flat surface that
totally supports it to protect it from damage.
◆ Keep the tube assembly out of the Sun. Otherwise, the tube
assembly could heat up, causing lens damage.
◆ Keep children away from small parts such as eyepieces and
caps to prevent them from swallowing these parts. Also keep
them away from a large vinyl bag used for packing to prevent
children from covering themselves.
◆ Also keep the flammable packing materials away from fire.

 What is Fluorite?
Calcium fluorite (CaF 2) is a naturally occurring crystal. Its very low refractive index
makes it the best of the materials to use in the manufacture of apochromatic telescope.
Unfortunately, the natural crystal contains impurities and as a result, displays some
properties that make it unsuited for use in a telescope.

Now thanks to modern technology, fluorite crystals are grown in a oven. This process
produces a totally pure mono crystal structure that does not display any of the unsuitable
properties of the natural crystal and has the same very low refractive index. Now, calcium
fluorite crystal can be hard multi-coated for maximum light transmission and durability.

As the diagram shows, the band pass of fluorite of 100 to over 10,000 nanometers eclipses
by many magnitudes that of any optical glass. Additionally, the use of multi-coatings further
increases light transmission over any ED glass and can place the fluorite lens at the front.
These features make the fluorite objective the premier visual/imaging telescope for deep
sky or lunar and planetary observations in their size class.

When the fluorite telescope is take out for an observing session, it will take about one hour
for the objective to temperature equalize for maximum performance. This fact is also true
for any optical system used.
