Takahashi FS-60Q Tube Holder

Product Overview

Takahashi's tube holder for the FS-60Q. It carries the optical tube on a Takahashi mount, finished in the traditional Takahashi pebble coat with a felt inner lining that sits between the holder and the tube.

Who It's For

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

Key Features & Design

• Felt inner lining: sits between the holder and the tube.
• Traditional Takahashi pebble finish: matches the finish of the optical tubes and mounts.
• Sized to the FS-60Q: Takahashi's own holder for that tube.

Recommended Uses

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

Compatibility and Accessory Notes

Takahashi lists this holder for the FS-60Q. There is a closely related holder listed for the FS-60CB and FS-60Q together (TKA20420) — the two are easy to confuse from the model numbers alone. If you are not certain which your tube takes, send us the telescope and we will confirm which holder to send.

Good to Know Before You Order

Two similar holders exist in this family: this one is listed specifically for the FS-60Q, and a second covers the FS-60CB and FS-60Q. A quick message to us settles which one your tube wants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it difficult to set up?

No — the holder opens, the tube seats inside on the felt lining, and it closes around it.

Which telescope does it fit?

The FS-60Q.

Does the lining protect the tube's finish?

That is what the felt is there for — it sits between the aluminium holder and the painted tube.

Bottom Line

Takahashi's felt-lined holder for the FS-60Q, in the matching pebble finish.
