Hello all you Tak fans.
Back in July I asked you good people your opinion on an M 250 to replace my CPC 1100 and 7" Mak LX200 GPS. Your responses guided me to start watching the classifieds in February and I found success in March with the purchase of a beautifully well maintained unit right here in Arizona. The former owner was Milton Wilcox, whom many of you may have known prior to his passing some two weeks later. A wonderful man and a pleasure to have met and spent time with.
As I was only planning visual use for now, I mounted the 250 S on a brand new CGEM. I had two half nights of observing before the mount went back for warranty. So here I sit with my exquisite new toy and no mount to use it on. Such is life !
I have already determined that the Mewlon's contrast and appetite for magnification in less than perfect conditions exceeds my expectations, even better in good conditions. I will certainly learn more when the mount gets back.
Thanks to all of you who guided me down this path.
