You'll want to make sure both the mirror back and the stalk are totally clean surfaces ready to accept a double sided tape. Or VHB tape (pretty sure these are the same product): To secure a new one, you can use some 3M double sided extreme mounting tape: This is intentional, and when you replace it, you'll want to replicate this offset. You'll likely find that it's offset on the stalk by a bit ( like in this image. Before you remove the mirror from the stalk, take some pictures or even measurements for its alignment. It's either cemented on or has heavy duty double-sided tape. You'll have to find a way to separate it from the stalk. You can buy a GSO replacement from Agena: Orion lists the StarBlast 6 as having a 50mm minor axis secondary mirror: The central bolt is taking the load of all three collimation screws pushing against it and so it's generally hard to turn on its own. It will be easier to loosen one of the collimation screws and then the other two before the central bolt. r/telescopes aims to be a high quality sub where users can discuss all things telescopes and astronomy, but allowing such repetitive and low-effort posts will drastically lower the overall quality of the sub. Low-effort content such as those complaining about the weather (we get it, clouds are bad), simple questions that usually result in one line responses (these should be posted in our weekly discussion threads instead), general 'shitposting', memes, etc. Titles should be descriptive about what you're discussing/posting. Titles should not be 'clickbaity' nor self-deprecating - we're all here to learn so there is no point in calling yourself a 'noob' and/or putting yourself down. Concept art is not permitted, nor is content not relating to visual astronomy/telescopes.

Images must be taken by you, with gear which you own - remote or professional services such as DSW or Hubble are not permitted. This enforces quality, encourages discussion, and benefits everyone. This includes your gear as well as any processing you did to the image. Images must have a top-level comment containing acquisition and processing details. Self promotion is only permitted to active members of the community. Not providing commentary, or posting content from a single source will be assumed to be attempts of driving traffic, which is not allowed here. This sub is a place for everyone to learn and help each other, and such behaviour only does bad things to everyone involved.ĭirect links should be accompanied by commentary as a top level comment, and should be a source of discussion. Non-civil behaviour such as insulting, flaming, etc, will not be tolerated. You can post used item ads here, but do post them on other communities or websites such as Cloudynights, Astromart, etc. There are other subs and communities for this. Links to petitions, surveys, crowdfunders, and other advertisements to sell your own products are prohibited here. Failure to read and posting "which telescope should I buy" will result in your post being removed and you being referred to this guide. If you're totally new to telescopes and astronomy, please read our Beginner's Quick Guide to choosing your first telescope which is sticky'd to the top of the subreddit.
