Thanks Christian. I'll certainly try longer exposures next time out. The problem is my skies are very polluted and this image was more or less a test to see...

Chris, Looks nice for one of your first outings, have you tried to lighen up the background just a bit? Mark www.aajonahfish.com/astronomyhaven.htm N 27° 52'...
Thanks Mark. I actually darkened it just a bit to finish it off. I could try lightening it to see if some of the fainter bits show up a little better. _____ ...
On other thought I would not binn the image and take the exposure for a longer time This way you can go the 600sec subs and not get the 8500 count background ...
I found the motorised secondary a little coarse to get easily to a precise focus. Having said that, the motorised secondary works quite well with a little...
While Mewlons are being discussed a little on the group, I wonder whether anyone has found a reducer which drops the effective FL of the Mewlon 250 to ...
Is your primary properly marked with the "epsilon offset"? That is the critical part. I suppose folks will correct me if I am wrong, but if properly marked ...
Nice work Chris. Howard S. ... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection...

Hi All, This is my first post. Just bought my first Tak mount (EM200 Temma Pc Jr.) and it arrived yesterday. I'm totally impressed with mechanical and build ...
All comes down to personal taste, I suppose, but - for the record - I'm with Gene in the 'Motorised Secondary Debate'. Absolutely love the electric focuser -...
Hi Rainer, I have a Mewlon-300 and actually prefer a manual focuser for low power viewing of DSOs. I just find it easier to locate best focus on faint objects...
Anyone able to get an ST camera, along with a FLI PDF, CFW-10 and the AO-7 unit to come to focus with the FSQ? I tried tonight...and I'm only 5mm or so out of...
Hello Roland, I've tried both the Celestron F/6.3 and the Meade F/3.3 reducer/correctors with my Mewlon-300 with some success. However I'm using them strictly...
Looks like in order to use an AO-7 with the FSQ, I will have to lose the PDF, and perhaps use a Robofocus. 1) What is the shortest backfocus way to mount a...
Anacortes sells a mounting bracket to mount a Robo-Focus to the FSQ. Here is a link: http://www.buytelescopes.com/product.asp?t=&pid=7026&m= I have one and it...
Because currently, my mount needs tuning. I got a new EM-400, and there is considerable play in the DEC axis. I'll be sending it back to Art soon for ...
Chris, Looks good. Did a quick FWHM check on the stars and there seem to be minima of around 3.5 arcsec and quite uniform over the field. Have you tried...
Hi Folk, Would like to have Mewlon owners weigh in on this thread if they have the time. I have owned a Mewlon 300 now for about a year and find this scope to...
Stef, I have an EM-2 and this is the way it works as well - quite strange, although according to Terence Dickinson's "The Backyard Astronomer" not that...
Neil, You might look at Borg components for your FSQ to t-thread problem (yeah yeah, "resistance is futile" and all that!). You would need the 7912 to fit the...
