While the Mach 1 is a wonderful mount, I think imaging with a Mewlon

would be at its upper limit.

I have images quite successfully with a Meade 10" SCT, which is heavier
than the Mewlon. One woudl also image with a focal reducer/corrector with this
scope at a faster focal ratio, F8, I believe.

Actually, the name Mewlon to me sounds kinda weird, but in Japan it is
known as the u-Lon where the u is the Greek letter mu. Same kind of thinking
behind the Tak e-Lon or Epsilon.
