Hello,   everyone.  Thank you very much for help by everyone.
Today, ( In Japan, almost telescope, valuable refractors are dirty, with hole, objective lens is being bad polished.
The number of refractor in good conditions are very very small............
So,  such beautiful FC-60 is rare ( about 10 years  ago, still there were refractor in good condition.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By the way, for Japanese , (over 50 years age people) 60mm diameter refractor will be the most  friendly existance at
all Telescope.
I started to watch star at 10 old.   Telescope was 60mm F15 achromat like toy.
At the time,  I didn't know ( Nikon,  GOTO-kogaku, Takahashi , Astro optics) which were first class Telescope makers.
My mother bought me 60mm F15 altazimuth at toy shop .
So, I  was thinking that Telescope is one which can be bought at Toy shop.    ( However, it was expensive ,34000yen).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the beginning, Nodody will exist who can ,use ( Nikon, GOTO kogaku, Takahashi Astro optics) 's real telescope.
I think almost the begginers of astronomy  Started to watch star by 60mm achromat altaimuth ,or 100mm F10 reflector.

In other words, Japan , Telescope lovers who are watching stars started by 60mm F15, or 100mm F10 reflector in 1960 S.
About Telescope makers, there were a lot of doubtful Telescope makers ..... Really a lot.
< Vixen was a little late,  joined first class Telescope maker , PENTAX,too.

My doubtful 60mm F15.  Unexpectedly I could watch Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, M42.  Even if it was toy, 
4 objects can be seen.  If now I think, my toy 60mm may have been fluke......
About it, I was happy..................... This time, I remember my kids memory to do maintenance of Takahashi FC-60.
