This is mentioned al lot on the CN thread, Information on the Takahashi Mewlon 210 and Mewlon 250

 Hotech Deluxe CT Collimator

However there must be other options?

A Mewlon is on my list, just wondering what I need to buy as well.

Perhaps I expressed myself badly.

In my opinion there is no need to buy expensive collimation tools to collimate a Mewlon 210.

All that is required is a night with good seeing so you can see the in focus airy disk, a cheap 7mm Orthoscopic eyepiece (x303 and a narrow field of view) and you are good to go.

Make VERY small changes and do not worry about the squeaking noise - really !

This may help too....

 

I was joking. Reading some CN posters experience with collimation is sounds  a mystery any one gets it to work. 😀

It’s just the same as an SCT

BUT it remains stable 👍

Compared with a Celestron maybe? If so, you should tell @JeremyS as he is not sure of the advantage of Takahashi over Celestron SCT'S yet. 😀
