Hi Matt
Whilst I haven’t experimented with a Mewlon 180 vs C9.25 shootout, I think Robert_T gave the edge to the C9.25 based on light gathering. My limited experience would tend to agree, for hi res planetary and lunar webcam imaging.
I love the M180 as a beautiful visual ‘scope, but the loss in aperture over the C9.25 is a definite handicap when trying to obtain large image scales of the planets.
Like you, I’ve had several idle moments of wishing and to that extent, my thoughts usually veered towards a planetary Newtonian. However, a 10” F6 would probably be a test even for my Tak EM200 mount.
Cheers
Dennis
