Ed, You have me curious. I wonder if "C" has made minor changes or variations over the years? My C14 was purchased from Astronomics around 2/01, and when I screw and unscrew my lock-knobs, I do not

My apologies in advance of receiving a new C14 this Friday as we all know - it'l be cloudy for the next 3 weeks minimum here in the Great Lakes - specifically the Toronto area. I know nothing of using

Wayne & Paul, I have to agree with you mostly. If you are using the correctly machined screw from Celestron, the threaded section is only 3/8" long. After that section passes completely through the

As I was going to a Star Party this week I had to pack my scope yesterday. I simply turned the focus knob in the correct position until the mirror came to a stop. Then I simply screwed in the

Ed, this procedure you describe is totally unnecessary unless you have some defect in your ota. Please check with Celestron on this to confirm. Why would you need to move the mirror and focus knob a

You need to focus the mirror completely backward (focus knob turned C.W. till it stops). By screwing the mirror lock screws all the way in till they hit bottom on the rear casting of the scope, they

Paul, You will need to move the mirror forward a little to insert the screws. Turn them them until the threaded section of the screw is fully through the back and spins freely. Then move the mirror

Wayne, When handling the OTA do you need to focus the mirror completely forward or backward before screwing in the restraining knobs? Also, how will you know they are where they need to be? Will you

Mark, those screws are not surperfluous. Yes, they are used for shipping, but also should be used anytime the OTA is handled. Unless that scope stays mounted 100% of the time, get replacements from

There should be 2 holes and they are taped 1/4" - 20 TPI. Ed Joganic Mirror Lock screws

Mark, If you go to the hardware store you can find small plastic end caps that you can snap into the holes. They are typically in the specialty hardware section, come in all sizes, are cheap, and are

Hi, My club has a C14 that is missing the 3 locking screws on the back. These are used to lock the mirror is place during shipping,etc. We'd like to plug these holes up with similar ( but shorter)

Yes, well not all people have had problems with their credit, past or present. It's called fiscal responsibility. You don't spend what you can't afford to repay! BTW, what the hell does this have to

I have been considering options of upgrading to Celestrons CM-1400 and CM-1400 GT. I have noticed comments on couple of users groups regarding problems with the mount CI700 and 14 inch ota. Are the

Dan, I know that Celestron has made some improvements on the CI mounts but I still do not believe it is good enough for a scope the size of the C14. When I was purchasing my C14 I spoke with a lot of

Like most people, I've had some trouble with credit in the past. For a long time I haven't been able to find a company that would give me a credit card at all. I found this site and I just had to

Ya, I'd say. . . It's not every day you'll find someone who wants to trade even his 6" TMB APO for a 4" TMB (or other) APO. Worse, an AP traveler and a C14 are as different as hamburger vs. a hotdog.
