Don, these instructions are for all HD's correct? Not only in relation to Hyperstar usage?
Also, can it be assumed the secondary notch will be properly oriented with the baffle tube fully tightened (and with "the Fastar logo aligned with the scope"? I ask this because this orientation may not be in the fully tightened position. It's easy to feel play in the tube, versus when it's "tight".
I spoke with Dean at Starizona and he was very helpful.? The secondary mount can be tightened without removing the corrector by rotating the baffle tube with the secondary mirror removed and sticking your hand through the opening.? It is important to make sure the mirror notch is in the right orientation and that the mounting ring is concentric with the corrector plate and primary mirror.? The older Celestrons had the notch always positioned at 3 o'clock, but the recent ones can be anywhere, so he suggested to align the Fastar logo with the scope.? With the notch in the proper orientation, the baffle tube should be rotated CCW as viewed and tightened as tight as you can.? You can see if it's concentric by viewing the opening four or five feet in front of the scope.? Dean sells a better rubber gasket that will eliminate future loosening, but the corrector plate must be removed.? There are how to videos on the Starizona website for the Hyperstar conversion kit install that describe some of these actions in more detail.
Thanks, again for your input and suggestions.? I'll do a follow up in case others have the same issue.
