Celestron used to mark the edges of the glass with a ">" sign to indicate which side faces outwards. Years ago I was talking to R.Piekiel and asked the same question, which side in. He said he saw both. Even correctors with profiles on both sides in the early models. I tried both sides on my C11 and it didn't make the slightest difference.

You have to remove the secondary to install an hyperstar cell.
IC, mines an older model which the secondary is as far as I know not removable.
Re Hyperstar,Even more reason to clean the corrector in situe.
