Can the center reflector disk be removed and replaced with a translucent Disk?

The center of disk can be removed as it has screws that hold it in place. You could replace it with a different material if the screw hold lined up. This would make it behave more like a soft box I guess.

Yes the reflector disk can be removed and it would be possible to replace it with a translucent disk, just make sure the new disk has holes to put the rods through to hold it

I assume you could --ask the Manufacture --I suggest you order a satellite disk drive from Amazon. You will eventually need one!

The blue liquid is what polishes the disk. It looks shiny and new if done correctly.

Not likely, we added one our selves. Picked it up at best buy for around $35. Easy to do your self. Really, they can help you with it at best buy if you ask nicely. Bring the whole unit with you. The back comes off and you can see where it goes. Oh, and that disk in the photo..... not likely included either. Not included in mine.

If you are using the same enclosure, then you should try my previous answer. If not, I'd download a Linux Live-CD attach ONE of the disk via USB adapter, rescue my info and then retry rebuilding the R1 array. Knoppix Live-CD seems to do a great job at this and it is easy to use.

Not sure why you would want to do it that way. With mirrored drives you already have drive redundancy. If a drive goes bad, pull it out and put in the new drive. There are better ways to provide for offsite backup than to keep pulling a drive and having the raid rebuild itself.

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...

You can try visiting the manufacturers website but I recommend using the disk provided.

Remove the silver reflector first of course. squeeze the diffuser and muscle them on. Simple. Once

yes that's what its designed for. You remove the outer disk nut and thread this on. Use the disk nut tool in a striking motion on the outer wire to make it loosen up when you need to change it.

Yes, I've already tried. Jan is correct - you can take the disc out and then do the quarter turn after assembled to turn the light off.

you can remove it by taking out 2 philips head screws. you would need to seal the holes to avoid light leaking in. the 2 screws may be long enough to interfere with light path to sensor.

I had this happen in my warehouse entrance. I ended up re-positioning the reflector and the problem went away. Maybe give that a shot?

It is removable. It should easily pull off for you. Start by gently pulling off the outside edges and then the center; it should disconnect easily. After which, you can replace it with the faceplate from your optical drive, making for a seamless and perfect fit so that no one can tell you've actually made the modification. Good luck!

the sliding switch to turn the light on/off can be hard to see and operate but as previously answered should be under the disk, dead center. as I noted in my review, our light fell off the disk after a week or so.

I would recommend removing the old one. Though it's never happened to me, I've heard stories of extra weight/thickness causing problems with the disc drive.

if u don't have to disassemble it to put the light reflector in the proper place as i did.. it works fine.
