Tim,
There was a review of the 210 in the UK Journal Practical Astronomer and they
raved about its mirror figuring. I like it because its very light and
absolutely does not dew up even through a Canadian winter. It is very dependant
on accurate collimation and seeing conditions.

Jim:
Very nice! How do you like the Mewlon?
I was drooling over a Mewlon 210 and their 212 Newt-Cass at RTMC this
year, but the rep never stayed out after the evening programs, so I've
never looked through one.
-Tim.

I got up early this morning since clear skies are rare these days in

to attempt first light with my new Tak Mewlon 210. Skies were
mediocre but I managed to
capture a small Mars image. Lightly processed to preserve a more
natural look of low
contrast features.
