Very true, indeed 😀

Mewlon 180c. the best

I would agree and I love mine… however it’s not that affordable, but arguably worth the money 😀

I have also tried a CC6 (in fact John’s), which was very decent, but a noticeable difference, when compared alongside 👍

So another CC on the short list; seems a little expensive.

I see an F12, so probably a little wider FoV than Mak 180

What about dust/ other stuff, at some point of time I presume some dust will be covering the mirrors, how do you clean it?

Thank @Fedele and @HollyHound !

From the Mewlon 180 manual...

Hmm, after cleaning should you colimate again or usually preserves the alignment?

thanks for the quick reply!

Not sure, I haven't yet had to do this (only had mine for 5 months)... I have read somewhere that it usually preserves collimation quite well though 🤞

Keep the fingers crossed then for the first cleanup!
