I know this is supposed to be the best 3 inch scope in existence. But I'm seeing some color on Jupiter (using Tak 2.8) which isn't there in my FS102.

BTW, I spent MORE on the FCT76 than on my FS102!

Any thoughts?

Its not the best 3" scope in excsiting , but maybe the most collectable and expensive 3" scope. Its a fast triplet, so yes you can see some color at very high power. If you like to see pur white image at that power, than you shall switch to the real best 3" apo in excistence, a TMB 80 mm Triplet Fluorite, it shows mirror like colorfree images of highest contrast
