Great video. I have an edge had 8 which also has some haze on the primary mirror which I can’t seem to get clean enough but it throws up great images. I might disassemble it to clean the mirror properly. The corrector plate just seems to get dusty again from the inside of the scope just minutes after cleaning it. But I like your solution to a problem and like your intrepid spirit to tackle what others say you shouldn’t do. Looking forward to seeing how he C8 performs for you.

Welcome NY. Yeah great, I would definitely mark everything up just in case 👍 they do produce amazing images. I just go with my gut it usually works out lol. Next video on Sunday has the result 🫣 stay tuned.

Unauthordox idea, but seems to have worked out pretty well, great video….👍🏻

I found that tap water left specks when I cleaned my mirror from the impurities. Distilled water definitely stopped that.

[@Learn_astrophotography]

Thanks for commenting, yeah distilled water is definitely recommended, I think it also depends on how heavy the water is in your area, sounds like your in a hard water area, boiling the kettle and letting it cool works well. 😁

Will be a fantastic fix if the focus turn out sharp, love it👍👍.

Thanks, the results are in the next video which I will release on Sunday. Have a great rest of your week 👍

Nothing ventured nothing gained brother.
I'd of done the same myself 👍
I've a edge hd 8 myself and broke the primary mirror holder when i fitted the eaf and kept resetting to 0 trying to get focus.
Was a rwitchy bum moment stripping it and glueing the holder back together.
Anyway 2 years on and I'm still getting great pictures👍

[@Learn_astrophotography]
