....I just recieved a Celestron C-8 I won in an auction and its in need of collimation. I tried getting the little Orange cap off but to no avail. Can someone tell me if it screws off,prys off or twist off or even maybe just unscrews. I have tried to place a small screwdriver under it to pry it off but nothing works. Please
someone give me some advice.

Thanks
Berry

Mine on my black tube pried off. Use a thin wide flat blade screwdriver. It was a little tricky.

It pops off. Once off - Keep it off, and get some Bob's Knobs....
