Brad,

Congratulations on the scope! I've had my M250 for almost 5 years and absolutely love it! You now have a great setup.

Rolando,

I'd say so! I think even Mr Hubble would be proud of that one!

Oldest ocular, why you've retained it?

Posted By Paul Maxson
I have a 3.125mm Orthoscopic eyepiece that has to be about 60-70 years old. It was given to me by an astronomer I knew whilst working at Lowell Observatory. I have no idea why they even had it. On the 24" Clark, it gives about 3200x. I should pull it out someday and see how it works on the Mewlon....LOL!!

A friend of mine recently gave me an Astro-Tech 15mm wide angle ocular. I told him I'd see how it compares with a UO 16mm Konig that I've had for about 30 years.

Then it dawned on me that of all the oculars I've owned over the years, the Konig is one I've never considered selling. I think UO has been selling this ocular for quite a few years. There is just something about it's performance with different scopes I've had that appeals to me.

Anyway, just wondering if there are any of you holding on to old oculars that you just like for some reason, even though you've bought Naglers, Panoptics, Ethos, etc.?

Mewlon Purchase?

Posted By Paul Maxson
I have owned a Mewlon250 for over 5 years and I believe it to be the best 10" scope in the world. I'll probably end up with a C14 someday, but given my druthers, I'd gladly move to a Mewlon 300 in a heartbeat.

TeleGizmos 365 cover

Posted By Paul Maxson
I have a 365 for my C14 and that cover is great! Well made, heavy and no doubt in my mind it protects my C14 nicely.
