I purchased a Celestron Edge HD 8 OTA from a UK retailer in November 2021.
I have recently been using this with a Starizona Hyperstar 4. Last week when I went to remove the Hyperstar to replace the secondary mirror, rather than the Hyperstar unscrewing the internal thread of the secondary mirror holder unscrewed from the corrector plate. When I tried to re-screw in the secondary mirror thread, the internal thread from behind the corrector plate fell off. Please see photos attached. I had been using a Celestron dew heater ring, which I have removed for some of the photos.
Celestron have said this isn't covered by warranty, so looks like I'll need to repair. Any advice on how to repair? I know I should be able to remove the corrector plate, being careful to mark orientation, but wondering whether I should glue the connector back, or just screw it in?
