That's a very generous offer Dave thanks. Do you just use it as a finder? I think it is easy enough, you have to take 2 screws of the bottom. I gave a loan of it to a friend so I cannot check until I get it back, I'll get back to you as soon as I know,
Thanks a million,
Keith

You're very welcome Keith. I'm going to use it for imaging/guiding, probably... Its piggy backed on a C8 at the mo.

I'll have a look over the next few days and see if I can get it out for you easy enough. But if you come up with something, let me know anyhow.

I'd do it now but I'm on observatory building duty :cry:

Cheers

Dave McD

just out of curiosity, why would you want to change the mirror, are you seeing a deminished image compared with the straight through view, or did someone paw the mirror?? :oops:

I didn't realise that when you take the focuser off the top of the scope comes off, so when i put the top back on i put the fousing pin back in the wrong place so instead of coming out the hole at the base of the scope for the focuser it came down and scratched the flip mirror on the inside of the tube, d'oh!! So I need to replace it....

Dave, someone hasn't been paying attention! :lol:
