congrats on a done deal.
hope to be able to see this scope at an ob session in future...
btw, care to share how much you paid for the servicing and what was the scope of works?

Shoelevy told me he had paid Albert $350 for the mirror shift problem, i spoke to albert, he says that the problem was greasing the thumbscrew and straightening it...( not serious ) . It also included general servicing.
I understood that general servicing is $250.

i hope my next scope will not have the mirror flop problem...( unlikely)

Your Mewlon 210 should not have mirror flop problem

cheers,

I thought the fixed primary with automatic focuser on the secondary mirror is only for the Mewlon 250 and above?

what i meant is the shift on a mew should be much lesser than a typical sct, should not be a problem at all :-)

Mew 250 is fix primary mirror, but you need a 9 volt battery to work on the focus of the secondary mirror,

while mew 210 is a manual mechanical focusing like a any other SCT, but Markus told be the tak mechanism is more reliable.
