Anyone else find out that this little scope (60 mm f/11 circle t) has very good optics?

Yeah, those Towa-sourced Skychiefs are something!

The Skychiefs IIs are nice as well with the f/15 glass.

I don't think I have EVER chanced a bad objective by Towa. Some of their focusers were to be desired, but never the objectives.

Got a photo of the 'chief ?
