PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Takahashi Mewlon-210 is a precision-engineered 8.3" (210 mm) Dall-Kirkham reflecting optical tube assembly (OTA) designed to deliver refractor-like sharpness and contrast in a compact, lightweight form. This high-resolution OTA delivers exceptional performance for planetary and deep-sky visual observations thanks to its ellipsoidal primary and spherical secondary optics, optimized for superior contrast with minimal secondary obstruction.
- Designed for high-contrast planetary and lunar observation with refractor-like visual clarity
- Dall-Kirkham optical design uses an ellipsoidal primary and spherical secondary to minimize aberration
- Extensive internal knife-edge baffling and light-reducing construction for enhanced contrast
- Optimized 29–31% secondary obstruction delivers superior brightness over SCT and RC alternatives
- Coma is negligible and lies well outside the field of view with premium eyepieces
- Precision optical surfaces deliver airy discs as small as 20?, outperforming many SCT systems
- Optional field flattener/reducer enables F/9 flat field imaging with minimized coma
- Mirror cell construction eliminates stress and improves thermal response time
- Lightweight at just 18 lbs (with finder), ideal for portability and quick deployment
Whether you're exploring the surface of Jupiter, observing Saturn's ring system, or capturing high-resolution images of deep-sky objects with the help of a reducer, the Takahashi Mewlon-210 delivers performance typically reserved for large refractors in a much more portable and cost-efficient package.
