I fixed iT

yes I asked Mr persuader to come out and play with it. Should have done that in the first place. but I wanted to be gentle and take the smooth and subtle route - doesn't suit me for some reason? thanks for all the advice

Mr Persuader should've been included in the package.

I think Mr Persuader will be visiting SPSP , he just loved large aperture telescopes - like Rodstars even 12" dobs, Taks and other refractors . he doesnt like to get angry, you would like him when he is mad

Coma Corrector removal

Why remove it? an f/4 scope absolutely needs one for coma-reduced images.
Is it tilted?

1. needed a clean
2. I mistakenly though I could add 2" Ep right away, but as I have found out that is a vixen add on
3. I had just received the scope and wouldn't you be very curious to inspect the focuser and the connecting parts?
4. because I am a newbie when if comes to a newt. I was very gentle only needed to just a little leverage, it then freely unscrewed. Up until that point however no amount of hand torque was budging that sucker

oh and the collimation

I'm surprised it was so tight for you. as i said on the phone, a finger down the barrel for me then pressing against the side was enough torque to pull her out. I'm not doubting what you are saying, just struck me as odd!

Must be a Vixen thing.

When I received my VC200L, it came fitted with a black anodised extension tube on the focus tube. It took quite a lot of brute strength to unscrew this so I could use a star diagonal.

I think the threads are 60mm?

Cheers

Dennis
