Celestron EdgeHD rear nut

[lhuchison]

Help needed! Does anyone know which way the nut should turn on the rear?

It's the big nut against the ota, I have a baader steel track arriving today and can't get the .........thing off.

Tried hair dryer. I don't want to bang it, just wondering if it's reverse thread?

Postman due soon!,,,,

Its a normal thread so, "Righty tighty, lefty loosey".

Thanks Zakalwe.

A "Baby Boa" strap wrench is an esssential tool in your astro kit box... These apply pressure around the whole circumference of the parts keeping them in shape while you remove them...

Sorted! Lots of heat from a hair drier.

Really like it!

Does that work? After all, there is a corrector lens in the rear. Doesn't it need a fixed distance to the eyepiece?

Seems to work perfectly. It has very good reviews.

OK, good!
