4" apo and Mewlon 210

Posted By Jim Runsdorf

I posed this question in another forum and didn't get much response. Maybe
it's already been discussed to death. I love my 4" apo, but have been
thinking about something a little larger for planetary and DSO, visual only.
I realize the Mewlon 250 would be a more dramatic improvement, and everyone
seems to like its electronic focuser, but the 210 would sit well on my current
GEM, and of course it would cost considerably less. Any thoughts about this
pairing of scopes from those of you who've had a chance to compare? Some day
I'd like to add a larger dobsonian to the mix, but in my present circumstances
this doesn't make a lot of sense.

Thanks in advance,
Jim
