Thanks, I deleted my note about removing by just taking out the 4 screws. The arm cover removal to give access to the bolts at the bottom to relieve pressure makes perfect sense. Mark
Thanks for this very helpful video and your timing was perfect! I just decided to defok my CPC1100 and there was your video, just uploaded! Thanks again. Clear skies!
Thank you so much for this Brent. I will look to do this to mount the 1100 edge OTA on a TrackTheStars Panther Alt-At mount now. I am still trying to identify what dovetail bar is needed however. Great video ! Neil
I mount my control computer on top, and if using a hyperstar I also have a guide scope on top of the OTA. I also have a dove tail handle that I attach on top when lifting or moving to OTA.
The last bottom screws, not the OTA just mount itself. What kind of tool did you use to remove these screws? Are they star hexes screws or just hexes and what size did you use please!!!
I don't know all the differences, but would bet it is pretty similar. There may be a few different bolts, but it has to be assembled somehow - and I would think they make it serviceable if someone ships it back.
Unfortunately these instructions do not cross over to the CPC 800 - everything falls apart when you flip the mount to the other side to access the handle screws. It doesn't have them, AND the CPC appears to be permanently attached to the OTA - there are no other bolts accessible bolts or anything else to access to unscrew :(
There were a few snug connections to get loose and it did take some leverage to get the side clamps to disengage. I found the trick of laying it out like I did in the video let me use a lot more force without worrying about dropping the scope.
Thanks for this! The instructions were very clear and guided me through de-forking my 9.25” Edge.

Great video, Step by Step, instructions clear and concise. Just deformed my CPC Deluxe 9.25 without a hitch. Thank you.

This same procedure works on the 9.25 as well. Thank you for posting this video!
Thanks for the video! Will try this with my CPC800.
Great video - I might soon do that too - will help a lot - thanks 🙏🏻

no problem. I had a hard time finding some of the details so figured it may help others too.

I used a ball end hex for everything. It has been a while, but I think they were all metric, maybe?
ry and put it back together one person cant do it
if you lay it down like I did in the video it can be done, it just takes a bit of work. good luck.
hey buddy dont kill yourself get a helper!!!
Hi again

Hi I have Celestron CPC 9.25 StarBright XLT
Are you saying is no way I can de fork mine when you say is permanent attached?
Now you scared me .
There were a few snug connections to get loose and it did take some leverage to get the side clamps to disengage. I found the trick of laying it out like I did in the video let me use a lot more force without worrying about dropping the scope.
