Hey guys...I bought a C11 Nexstar GPS from a member on astromart for my 16" Lightbridge and i noticed it has a little piece of foreign plastic INSIDE the tube...and a loose metal screw...i dont want to use the GPS because i dont want these foreign objects to domage the optics..does anyone know the procedure for removing the front of the OTA so i can get the foreign objects out? My OTA is positioned parellel so the 2 objects stay at the front and dont move anywhere. Or if anyone knows a link to the procedure..that would be alot of help...i cannot send this in to Celestron because the objects would damage the optics during shipping. Thanks!
