GSO RC 10 secondary mirror

[JoeS09]

Hi all,

I am currently restoring a TS Optics Carbon Fibre RC10 which I picked up the other week, and I was wondering if any of you know where I could source info on the secondary mirror? I am replacing the mirror set and I need to either manufacture a custom secondary cell, or potentially buy a genuine one from somewhere. I've been in contact with TS optics themselves and they weren't much help at all unfortunately. The primary mirror cell is also damaged but I can fix that one without too many worries. As far as I can gather the scope was dropped several years ago on its focuser and has been sat since, and I can only assume the secondary mirror and its cell was damaged too as it wasn't included in the purchase, but I'm determined to bring it back to life.

Thanks,

Joe

Try asking Agena Astro in the US. They seem to be able to get most GSO replacement parts.

Maybe you should contact GSO directly?

There are multiple dealers in Europe selling these telescopes, too, in case they cannot undertake end customer service:

Sorry not sure on where you can get the mirror info from, but Astrosystems.biz (in the USA) make spiders and secondary holders if you didn't fancy making them yourself and cant find an OE replacement.
