Hi
I have a 8" Meade SCT.
Is it hard to remove a Schmidt-Cass
from the fork mount?Does anybody know of any online guides
or tips showing how to do this?

Thanks

It's pretty easy. Usually I loosen the two bolts at the bottom of each fork arm a bit to give them a little play. Then remove the three screws on each side of the OTA, slide it forward and it's free. Just handle with care to avoid scrating the OTA.
Hope this helps.
