Well, there is medication for that, but you have to watch out if the effects last more than four hours.....

Subject: [TAC] C11 Mirror dance

My C11 suffers from mirror flop - not a great deal to get somewhat OK focus, but serious enough to make accurate focusing a daunting task. I fact, ligthly knocking on the tube already makes the mirror dance a bit (even it does end up in the same place all the time), so I'm not sure I'd call this just a "mirror flop" or something else.?
?
Before sending it to Celestron, does anyone know someone local who might have experience taking a C11 apart and getting this kind of problems fixed or at least improved? I'd be happy to pay a fee for the job of course. Or any hint about how to "DIY"??
?
Thanks,?
Rogelio?
