Hi all,

Just a short update....my Mewlon 250 is almost ready for first light!! The vendor only sent 2 of 3 counterbalance weights and the system does not balance. I am getting the 3rd weight on Wednesday, so with any luck, I'll have the unit set up Thursday and will try to observe Thursday evening. However, the weatherfolks predict rain all week, so the first light may be delayed. I'm getting pictures and will post them, even if it's of just the scope... grin
