Has anyone taken the OTA out of the forks, or know how they are held on..


Best thing to do with an ETX, the optics are excellent but the mount isn't.

Two hex bolts at the rear end each side. Ease the cheek pieces apart slightly to clear to locating lugs & slide the OTA out.

Reversing is significantly more awkward but reasonably feasible.
