  • Excellent Mechanical Build equal to or Superior to Mewlon 300
  • Fixed Primary Mirror Cell
  • Excellent Quality Focuser with fine focus
  • Minimum of 14inch Mirror

Sorry to be blunt..but I think you are mad selling the Mewlon 300. This is one scope I would love to own...well the 300CRS.

The only suggestions as a potential replacement would be a custom scope with Royce Optics mirror. Maybe look at the Parallax Instruments range.

I hear Orion Optical UK make some high quality mirrors.
