All I can say to this is I have recently got a Mewlon 180 and the collimation was perfect straight out of the box, after having travelled half way round the world! Whether it stays that way or not remains to be seen but my experience with the Mewlon 180 so far is very very good!

Same here…. mine was perfect out of the box and hasn’t need any adjustment since (I’ve had it over a year) 👍

Mewlon 180 alongside my FC-100DZ is a fantastic combination and these two have warded off any temptation to “upgrade” to a TSA-120… at least so far 😃

That was my conclusion from researching online! Though I do rate Ed Ting's reviews very highly.

On the original topic; I can identify with back problems, ease of portability has always been one of my criteria. I have no experience with other similar scopes to the Mewlon but I do find it very easy to setup, the built in finder/handle is brilliant.

Ed is not the only one that likes to have a pop at Tak 😊
