Hi all
I had the unfortunate experience of getting a 20mm eyepiece stuck in my diagonal last night (not to mention clouds coming in, humidity, and lightning in the distance - made for a very short hour and a half). It went in a bit crooked and my attempts to straighten, I’m afraid, made it even worse. I just can’t get them separated. I sprayed some WD40 around where they meet. I’m going to let that sit a while. I took off the back of the diagonal and removed the mirror, also. My contingency is to try carefully push the eyepiece out with a flat head screwdriver, being especially careful to not let it slip and scratch the eyepiece glass.
Anyone else run into this issue?
Thanks,
Rob
