Product Overview

Takahashi's tube holder for the FS-60CB and FS-60Q. It clamps around the optical tube and provides the interface between the telescope and a Takahashi mount.

Who It's For

This is a good match if you own an FS-60CB or FS-60Q and need Takahashi's own holder rather than a generic ring.

Key Features & Design

  • Fits both FS-60 tubes: Takahashi lists this holder for the FS-60CB and the FS-60Q.
  • Takahashi construction and finish: matches the optical tubes and mounts it works with.

Recommended Uses

Mounting an FS-60CB or FS-60Q to a Takahashi equatorial mount for visual observing, wide-field imaging, or use as a guide scope on a larger rig.

Compatibility and Accessory Notes

Listed by Takahashi for the FS-60CB and FS-60Q. There is a second, closely numbered holder listed for the FS-60Q alone (TKA20420Q) — if you are unsure which your tube takes, send us the telescope and we will confirm which one to send.

Good to Know Before You Order

Two similar holders exist in this family: this one covers the FS-60CB and FS-60Q; a second is listed for the FS-60Q alone. A quick message settles which one you want.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it difficult to set up?

No — the holder opens, the tube seats inside, and it closes around it; the base bolts to the mount.

Which telescopes does it fit?

The FS-60CB and the FS-60Q.

Can I use it to carry the FS-60 as a guide scope?

Yes — that is a common use for the FS-60 tubes, and the holder is what fixes it to the plate or rings on the main rig.

Bottom Line

Takahashi's own tube holder for the FS-60CB and FS-60Q.
