Celestron-Vixen C6 primary cell removal?

Posted By Michael Greenham

Hi Paul. There are 6 push/pull screws used to collimate the scope at the bottom of the OTA. Three of the screws actually hold the mirror cell to the bottom of the OTA so you can just unscrew those and the mirror cell will fall out into your hands. I turned the OTA upside down and removed the screws...then slowly tilted the tube back up right until the mirror cell gently fell into my hand.

Check this old post for a pic.
