Thanks guys. With the Mewlon 180 being a relatively small aperture (180mm or 7 inches) and having an open tube (no corrector like the C9.25), helps it cool down reasonably quickly. My gut feeling is that it appears to be less affected by the poor seeing than the C9.25 and certainly the better Tak mirror (1/20 wave) contributes to sharper and more defined stars.

Cheers

Dennis
