Be perfect really Phil. Best of both worlds in one scope.

Steve's good to deal with too - not that I have ever bought anything from him

Yep dealt with Steve before and can agree on that :-)

If I was coming from a 8inch SCT or Mewlon 210 I would probably have considered that scope because it was actually one that I had long been interested in and to see an immaculate unit come up second hand is rare.

Unfortunately it was a lot of years of using other scopes, practical comparisons and testing that led me to the Mewlon 300 and I don't think I could drop back to anything smaller or lesser quality.

I have my 2 smaller refractors but I have half convinced myself I want everything that the Mewlon 300 offers but just wider field and don't want to sacrifice any quality.
