Houston....We have a problem

Gday members,

So my TeleGizmo 365 cover has started to leak. I thought it was minor and just the lower seams. But it looks like moisture has gotten into the scope and caused some mould on the inside of the OTA and on the inside of the corrector plate of my C925. Just noticed it today, as I was doing a sensor analysis of my ASI 294 using SharpCap. The OTA has been outside in the tropics and under the cover for 3 years, without any sign of trouble.

Ive attached some pictures. Should I send it to Bintel for repair or attempt the fix? Im handy (but not foolish) so happy to have a go with some experienced guidance if that is a sensible option. That damn secondary housing spun again, so I presume I need to collimate the thing again, and try and tighten the secondary housing, it happened a while back but don't remember my solution

Any advice would be appreciated

Cheers

Hemi
