I don't know if this was covered so far in the discussions (haven't had time to check a lot of email lately) -- but at least in the days when my ancient 8" was made, the corrector plate supposedly was mated to the rest of the OTA to eliminate errors in one or the other. I remember one was required to realign it exactly as it was before it was cleaned. Thanks, Joe On Oct 15, 2007, at 9:04 PM, Rob Ratkowski Photography wrote:
Hey Pat
have you ever tried to remove a corrector plate?? Not always an easy pop out, I had to make a tool to remove mine on my C8. The corrector had become bonded to the cork ring and when it finally popped free, my heart skipped a beat. Whew!!
Aloha Rob
