Attaching finderscope etc to a cassegrain

[thorpef1 (Luke)]

Hey guys

I have a skywatcher MAK and i was playing around and unscrewed the mounting screws that hold the finderscope mount in place.
I then heard something on the inside of the OTA drop, guessing a nut or something on the other side of the screw.

How do i open it up to re-attach this.

Images attached show the read of the OTA.... what do i need to do

Don't know much about this scope but obvious question is, did you buy it from a dealer, preferably a specialist astronomy shop? They may be able to give advice or help fix it.

Hey guys.

I picked it up off the forum.

Ill check with some of the guys in my astronomy group.

If all else fails, a trip down to the Binocular and Telescope shop at Glebe may be in order.
Some very clever guys down there.
Cheers

I found it guys.

A friend sent me this:

It involved unscrewing the rear to remove the rear mirror which opened up the OTA.

Cheers guys
