I've been looking for a new mount for my Mewlon 250. I had it on a Vixen Sphinx SXW which was not quite enough mount for it. I lucked into an older Parallax HD 150 used (with the 7.5" Byers gears) for a great price. Here's how it looked when I bought it (just the mount, not the Newt or pier)
It's a Parallax Instruments getting a portable pier made and being repainted. It should look just like this when it gets done, except mine has stainless steel weights ...
Thanks guys! I do plan to take it to our annual star party and out to our piece of land in the mountains at 9000 feet elevation a couple of times a year. Other than that it will sit on a pier I'm having run through my deck.
