7 inch scope - JUPITER 15april Good Seeing

Gave the Mewlon 180 a spin Saturday night (it was getting jealous). Some nice seeing around 7-8/10. This combo works well with the 2.5powermate, but with the 4x (F48) is just over-stretching the light gatherig capability of the scope. Still not a bad result. The open mewlon cools down in an hour flat and seems less affected by seeing etc compared with the C9.25 so has it's advantages though will never quite match the resolution of the C9.25.

Anyway, two of the better shots below.

cheers,
