61edo is not a usual edo to make fractional-octave temperaments out of, but one step of it is in direct proximity to the diaschisma, 2048/2025.

Promethium

Promethium splits the perfect fifth in two and can be described as the 183 & 2684 temperament. By tempering out 4100625/4100096 promethium identifies the diaschisma with 2025/2002 in the 13-limit and also in the 17-limit.
