hi all
just an update
ive just completed the removal and reinstallation of the primary and secondary mirrors on the BFG (Big Freaking Gun not the Other f
)
the primary was removed easily the 3 clips holding the mirror were just stuck
to the mirror and came away easily so no pinching there ?
turned the contraption over as said in starkler's how to (ta btw) and the 3 legs (lack of a better word) holding the back of the mirror were stuck on difficult to remove but came away eventually
as far as the cell was concerned it fell out no problem being to tight there (not really fell out
)
so i put everthing back together again the hardest part was trying to get the whole primary mirror assembly back into the OTA man what a hassle because as soon as i removed the assembly that darn thing went out of shape
(OTA)
then i tackled the secondary next; getting it out of the OTA was a piece of cake , put it on the newspaper and removed the clip and screw mirror stayed
on the newspaper so no pinching there however the foam was a bit on the over kill which i would assume pushed the mirror out so i trimmed the acess so it now just sits comfortably now only needs a very slight push down onto the foam so no pinching there over all i can say it was easily enough to do if i can do this anyone can
so the bottom line is nothing that ive come across seems to cause the problem iam having with the seeing of my mars posting
so now ill have to recollimate and see if i still get the seeing problems.
(what i had here was tails on jupiters moons as well on mars plus on mars i was getting 4 lines out from the planet (like cross hairs if u know what i mean)
