I think the placement is about right. It keeps the speed light or source almost center. Remember point the light toward the back or side of the modifier, not the front. I think its perfectly normal. You could always call the people at Wescott, they are awesome!

No, you use the screws that are in the glasses There are repair kits that include several size screws and tools for the installation.

I just got one and couldn't see anything either. When I took it out of the box there was a 3" lens that was separate. I thought it was an extra. Turns out that it needed to be placed in the end of the telescope. If this is your case, unscrew the plastic ring at the large end of the telescope (remove the sun shade piece first) place the lens on top of the other lens and replace the plastic ring. There should be 2 lenses at the end. Once I did that I could see great! Start out with the largest eyepiece (25mm) to find objects easily.

The one that I received does not screw in or unscrew, it is held in by pressure. Try pulling it out by the slight lip around the edge of the glass.

Thanks EvanThat does make sense.I have also since found out this item is discontinued by Celestron and replaced by the avx mount. May hunt to buy one of those instead but imagine same applies.

It sounds like they keep changing the design. Mine had screws in a bag. I couldn't pry the top or bottom off. I pushed the light panel in: no joy. I held it more-or-less horizontally by the metal strip in one hand and smacked that hand with my other one. After 3 smacks the bottom panel dropped down 1/8 inch and I was on my way . . .

No never had a problem with the new style hinges on Sun System lights. Not one reflector has been sent back because of stripped screws. Thanks

I suggest you file the back side tab down where it is flat. My unit came with a double face tape. Peel off....clean and dry hood....center and apply firm pressure. Under no circumstances um stance would I drill a hole in the hood, to retrofit the unit. Not worth it.

I do not know.... I suggest you contact Celestron tech services for this question. After thinking about it, I think you can do it....Sorry for the weak answer...

not sure what you mean. 5 bezel I expect you to mean at the top where the light bulb is. I'm not aware that this comes off and it is not indicated in the instructions. If you mean unscrewing it in the middle below the adjustment ring, mine works very smoothly just as it does at the bottom of the flashlight battery compartment. If either one of those has thread problems, then yes you may have a defective unit that should be replaced

I cannot seem to get it attached...do you remove the existing rubber "gasket" around the eyepiece and place this one on instead? Should be simple, but not finding it so.

The glasés plate must to have on the glass the NUMBER A099 11 that it was the diference for me. If the glass doesnt bring those numbers, is ether too small ot too big anf the. Glass carrusel won't fit also there is some glass plates that look the identical but are for a non spinning microwave.

I found it a very tricky process as it is in a hood over a range. The angle is very awkward. Try wearing rubber gloves and using a gentle pushing and turning maneuver. If you can get one out look at the holes with a flashlight and you can see the Weird configuration you are dealing with. Good luck!

Hello, First issue is the use of a reducer/corrector with a barlow multiplier. The two lenses are working against each other to no effect. Use the eyepiece alone or use it with the reducer corrector for lower power (wider fields of view) or use the eyepiece with the barlow for much higher power (smaller fields of view). If you have the Celestron Edge telescope I do not believe the reducer/corrector will work correctly. Hope this helps.

There is no aperture listed. The one I purchased is model # 93691... I would go with what Celestron claims. It fits into the 1.25" eyepiece holder with no problems.
