this is really good. I am surprised that you surpass the Mewlon.  The visual in the Mewlon is great. Very nice

I was surprised myself when I looked at the moon through the eyepiece of the FS-60Q. Takahashi also make the FOA-60Q which they describe as their most optically perfect instrument. I believe that the FS-60Q is close to that.

But we are talking about differences in excellence between already outstanding scopes and this observation is for the moon only. The FC-100DZ and Mewlon 180c are both also excellent and in many contexts.

The 60 mm scope ends up being a very good aperture for lunar observation. It brings in  just about the perfect amount of light.
