gfletcher Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Hi Guys I recently bought a secondhand Celestron C8 SCT. I noticed that the internal flocking was starting to peel away slightly. Has anyone opened up a C8 OTA to do a repair job on the flocking? What is the procedure for opening up the C8 OTA? thanks Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfman_55 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Hi Graham, Its not a daunting as it sounds, I fitted a carbon fibre tube to mine, and there are plenty of tutorials on line. Here's a great one: http://www.cloudynights.com/page/articles/cat/articles/new-articles-in-monthname/cleaning-and-modifying-the-c11-beast-part-1-removing-the-corrector-plate-r2476 Good luck, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweedledee Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I'm new to flocking myself. Flocked only one scope to date. I would suggest that it might be better and simpler to remove all of the flocking and start afresh, rather than try a repair job. Ùnless, of course, the remainder is really well stuck. At the moment the DC Fix material is only £5.00 per roll from Argos and a you won't use it all on a C8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
