I currently own a C9.25 and have been quite happy with it for the last few years...but I've been offered a Takahashi Mewlon 250 at a very nice price. We're talking about a saving of several thousand $$$.
It's still going to cost me a little more than twice the price of a brand new 9.25...but those 1/20th wave optics and legendary Tak fit and finish are calling me...with the power and lure of what feels like a Siren's song
I can afford it....and I'd love to see the difference it might afford for resolution when planetary imaging.
So ...what do you think?
I'm aware I'm not going to be gaining much in terms of aperture...but for me it's a dream 10" lunar and planetary imaging machine. It's a scope in this aperture range of the quality I couldn't afford before, and hence sprung for a 9.25
I'd be selling the 9.25 to part-fund the purchase...so anyone interested in a proven performer of an SCT should get in touch via PM.
Go ahead...talk me out of it.
