Takahashi Seisakuho, a Japanese telescope company, has been making telescopes since 1979. Their first telescope, a 90mm fluorite apochromatic refractor, became the first line of its kind produced for commercial use for amateur astronomers. A fluorite apochromatic lens is an excellent method of correcting the problem of false color in a telescope.
Takahashi has a new line of apochromatic refractor telescopes for 2006, the TSA series. The first and only model in the line yet is the TSA-102S, a 102mm compact instrument measuring only 23-inches long. This astrophotography compatible model is built for the jet-setter and designed for airplane travel.
