hoping.....
Hoping you can get a purchase on that secondary mirror to rotate it Chris - if not, hoping you can get a purchase on another scope!!!!!
Just remember the old "where there's a will, there's a way" mantra as you struggle with it; we allways concede defeat too readily - which doesn't mean that there comes a time to do so sometimes!
And don't forget that if you can rectify it, it is a procedure that should not need to be done again. The other thought that comes to mind is with it being such a short tube, would removing the primary mirror and cell allow some manipulation from that end?
The primary is not necessary for the process in hand, and I know the shroud/cowling/tube/sheath has the barlow down the primary end, but....?
The other (quite possibly even more insane) suggestion is could you very accurately mark and cut small slits with a Dremel et al in the scope tube to allow radial adjustment/movement of the whole assembly (including the vanes) to achieve your objective?
This is most probably just before the sledgehammer process - but keep on "thinking outside the box" Screwie and something may evolve!
Best wishes, Darryl.
