Right now I am kinda feeling like Lewis, bought this off of Mamba a month or two ago and here it is going up! Your reputation precedes you Lewis ;)
Anyway, selling this to upgrade to the Mewlon 250 so I don't need two Mewlons. A week or two ago I replaced the secondary collimation screws as they were a bit tired (had a little movement within the hex area). They've been replaced with identical screws so I haven't made the mistake of going with Bobs Knobs :)
Since replacing the screws I've recollimated with a Glatter and Circular Holographic attachment which should get it close but fine tuning will be needed to get it honed in. This does however require better seeing than we've had in Melbourne for the past three months OR the foreseeable future it would seem.
Comes in original box with original bits. So far the views have been too hampered by seeing to give an honest verdict on its optical performance but I can say it gives a nice dark background compared to my two SCTs and two dobs! Very well baffled.
Looking for $2,200 ONO
P.S.
If anyone wants to add a Moonlite focuser, Mamba had one for this. I can say it doesn't come to focus with binoviewers, almost but not quite with a 1.7x GPC. So it will work with any 1.25" EP and should with most 2" EP. It is a short back focus Moonlite made for the Mewlon series. Very nice addition but useless for those who love to binoview everything :P
I assume Mamba still has it but I stand to be corrected.
