Michael140565 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I have a Meade 4500 telescope that has a damaged mirror. I have found a nice used replacement that is the correct diameter but it is from a short tube telescope. Will that be a problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK you need to replace it with a mirror that has the same focal length. Which I believe is 910mm (f/8).

Carbon Brush Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Turning the question around.... Do you have a reasonably complete donor scope? Or just a mirror? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
