TOWA (CIRCLE T) 60MM REFRACTOR OTA From the 70s/80s and branded Prinz Astral 500 Achromatic, crown-flint two ply glass, hard coated Focal length is 910mm, with a focal ratio of f/15.1 0.965" eyepieces Towa are renowned for their very nice quality optics. The lens on this one is in excellent condition. Made in Japan. OTA comes complete with: Clamshell (for mounting); Star Diagonal; 12.5mm eyepiece and a free lens cleaning kit. In very good condition. Lens has no cracks. There is a dent underneath the tube (see pic 3) which I think looks worse in the photo and the paint has rubbed where the finder scope bracket was attached. Neither fault detracts from the optical performance of this telescope. NB. The thick white lines running along the bottom of the tube (pic 1) are caused by camera flash This scope is excellent for lunar and planetary viewing and makes a good quality entry level scope.
