Thanks Chris - experience is fine and welcome. I have decided the Mewlon 210 is for me weight, cost, portability on a dark site and dealing with medical conditions etc all being factors of choice I guess.
I have an AZEQ6 I would initially use this scope on. I intended to check out a Tak mount and certainly have looked at the EM200 Temma-2 mounts ... the cost though
Having spent the last two days pretty solidly reading forums and responses it seems collimation is not that much of an issue, so glad to hear you say collimation is still going strong.
I have a Canon 6D so might try to get the Tak wide T ring.
Is the 0.8 reducer/flattener the TKA70581?
Yeah the M250 might have to be something I view through as an OPT (Other Person's Telescopes) when we are actually going to have viewing nights again with the astronomy club with this yoyo open and close system of pandemic responses.
