Grab the cover & turn. (assuming here, I don't own one).

If John's turn suggestion doesn't work the cover on my C8 just pops off.

thanks guys i figured it out. u gotta twist the cap to reveal the screws. wished they would say that in the manual.

Google is my manual for most things now Mark! Glad it's sorted. Happy collimating!

When Celestron introduced the Farstar capability they changed the "cover" on the secondary to the one you have.
(BTW when I ordered Bob's Knobs for the same Fastar C11 I ended up getting "specials" which were longer to allow me to get my fingers around them...)
