I have read of people success with using the TOA130 Extender (TOA 130EX) with other scopes from the Takahashi line to extend the focal length, including use on the Mewlon 250. Would the use of the Extender-Q 1.6X that is used with the FSQ-106 be just as successful or are these two extenders vastly different in function. I have a Extender-Q 1.6X for a FSQ-106 but I am wondering if the TOA-130 Extender would be better for the Mewlon.

The Extender TOA 1.6 is best suited for the Mewlon and all the refractors f/7 or longer. The Extender-Q was designed for the FSQ, Sky-90 and FS-60C.
