TAKAHASHI FS 78

Hello,

I have the opportunity of to buy a FS 78 Takahashi refractor, but i like heard your opinion on this telescope.
Is´s a good performer for planets,Moon and deep sky?, I am visual observer only.This refractor can with 2" eyepieces? How compared this telescope with other refractors similar, like Megrez, TMB, TV,?

I like my FS78 a lot. It's one of the last built. Bought it used on AM.

The only APO refractor I've compared it to is my TV102. I think the image in the Tak is slightly cleaner with virtually no in-focus color. It also snaps into focus much better than the TV. Naturally, the TV will go deeper.

I only use it for visual observing.
