Thanks Phil,

I had never considered Mewlon before. So this is basically a cross between a newt and an SCT? No corrector plate, smaller secondary mirror, but somehow, much higher focal length?

My budget is around the 3 - 4000 mark. I can get the C11 EdgeHD for the 3300 mark from USA. The Mewlon 210 is similarly priced, but the Mewlon 250 is $7500. I can't justify this much.

Also, being a refractor owner, I like the sealed design - no worries about cleaning mirrors etc. I assume you need to do this on a mewlon?

Any ideas how the Mewlon 210 would compare to a C11 EdgeHD? I am guessing sharper image, but less light gathering capability?

Cheers

James
