Takahashi TS refractors serie

 

The TS are the first serie of telescopes produced by Takahashi. It's difficult to have informations about these telescopes, because, we can found several telescopes under the same name.

TS 50

We can found 2 telescopes under the "TS 50" name:

in 1971, an achromatic doublet at f/14 (f=700mm)
in 1977, another achromatic doublet at f/10 (f=500mm)

TS 65

in 1969, an achromatic doublet at f/14 (f=910mm). It's the first Takahashi Telescope!
in 1970, a triplet at f/15.4 (f=1000).
in 1972, an apochromatique triplet at f/7.7 (f=500mm)
in 1976, an achromatic doublet at f/12.3 (f=800mm)

TS 90

We can found 4 telescopes under the "TS 90" name:

1977, a fluorite triplet  at f/11.1 (f=1000mm) It's the first fluorite Takahashi telescope!
1978, a triplet at f/13.3 (f=1200)
1978, an achromatic doublet at f/11.1 (f=1000mm)
1979, an achromatic doublet at f/13.3(f=1200)
