I have the Mewlon 180 and some others on the site have Mewlons of different flavours as well.
Getting collimation can be a bit of a struggle but once it is collimated its one of the best scopes I have looked through. I have never saw festoons through a scope with my eye and it was the first scope I could really see the GRS with my eye.

For planetary imaging it does a great job. For the scope itself to cool down takes no time at all and dew so far for me has never been a problem. On low end 5” inch refractors I have no doubt that mewlon would knock the socks off most of them.
I have attached a photo of a pic i took of jupiter after 2 months of imaging with it
