FC-100DC

The Takahashi FC-100DC is a compact 100mm apochromatic fluorite doublet refractor designed primarily for visual observation, though it performs well for astrophotography with smaller cameras. This lightweight telescope features a Steinheil optical design with an eco-glass front element and coated fluorite rear element for excellent color correction, delivering sharp, high-contrast views ideal for planetary observation, galaxies, globular clusters, and nebulae. At just 2.8 kg with a 2.2-inch rack-and-pinion focuser and fixed dew shield, it prioritizes portability and ease of use while remaining capable for wide-field imaging with appropriate accessories.
