C11 broken - help needed

Posted By Arno Becker
my C11 - few month old- hit the floor. Fortunately mainloss is covered by insurance as it happened not to me. The Schmidt corrector is broken. No further visible damages. I heard this is a total-loss. Has anyone experience with broken Schmidt-correctors?

I really appreciate your help. Maybe someone can even help me with spares ?

Thanks + regards Arno Becker

i learned - also from direct mails - that the damage can be repaired for less $900 incl. optical bench collimation.
It needs the serial number of the Schmidt-corrector. With this number Celestron can find a new Schmidt+secondary according to their records. Lets cross fingers.

Thank you guys for y help.
best regards Arno
