Takahashi Mewlon 210

I have a second hand mewlon 210 since 2 months. I bought this scope for planetary and double stars. I have had 8" reflector (newtonian and SC) but i had never seen such a good reflector. This is the first big reflector which deliver refractor's like views. The only difference with a FS102 refractor is that the mewlon need to multiply by 1.5 the magnification to achieve the save level of view. I can push to X600 on Porrima and the double star view is absolutely perfect.
I was stunned by the deep sky views and the contrast of this reflector.

In the 8" reflector class this is the best i have ever tested.

I have put "only" 9 to Ease of use because the focale is very big and it's not the best for finding faint objects.
