This must not be a M300 or M250 as you can cart these around easy with little need of collimation. My M300 has been moved in the back of my 4WD to dark sites many times and collimated once.

Interesting comment on the optics, maybe you somehow got a bad or damaged sample.

In my experience using both SCT's (good examples of both Meade and Celestron) compared to the M250 and M300, the Mewlons beat them by a significant margin for sharpness and contrast at the eyepiece . Other Mewlon 250 and 300 owners I know in Australia and overseas say exactly the same.
