Once you are totally happy with the collimation with the tak scope (take your time with this, the better you get this the easy the final collimation via star test will be) if you have a laser collimator check the collimation with that. (pic 17). If you have done the first lot of collimation right you will get concentric circles. If not go back to the tak scope and keep going.
Finally, I decided to fit a dew heater to the secondary. Inside secondary assembly there is enough space to fit the dew heater made by Kendrick. I drilled a hole in the holding plate and then ran the wiring through that. Some tape of silicone over the hole holds the wiring in place. Make sure you silicone stick the heater to the secondary mirror itself. (pic 18)
Then tape or fix the wiring neatly along the truss. (pic 19)
So there you go, that is how to remove one set of mirrors and install those into a carbon truss.
Feel free to ask me any questions you may have.
