Deep Sky West: Takahashi FSQ-106 EDX II & QSI 683wsg-8 A collection by Scott Stirling

The Takahashi FSQ-106 EDX ("extra low dispersion" glass) is a Petzval quadruplet refractor telescope with 106mm (4.17 inches) diameter aperture and 530mm focal length.

The QSI 683wsg-8 uses a Kodak KAF-8300 sensor with a 3326 × 2504 array of 5.4µm pixels.

The combination yields images at a scale of 2.10 arcseconds/pixel.
