Looks great. I can see the appeal for this handy scope, Pedro.

Pedro these pop up a lot on the second hand market down here. But I have a 66mm WO somewhere which I use as a wide field video scope piggybacked on a SCT so I’ll refrain from the temptation.

The Taka FS60 is a great telescope and you can easily find one used for a good price

I have many others but this is the one I use more often in outreach sessions (WL & H-alpha)
