Finally managed to get the front elements out of my monster russian mirror to be properly cleaned.
The trick is this tiny screw hiding under the integral lens hood. It locks the front lens ring.
Re-assembled and tested.
I can live with the bokeh!
Sharpness is OK, not brilliant.....
but acceptable.....
even with a cheapo 2x TC taking it up to 2200mm focal length

It's my main "moon lens" but, because it has been dirty, I haven't had brilliant results with it. I am hoping to have a go tonight if the weather is kind.
I haven't really got the strength or the stamina to take it walkabout though |

Bigger is generally easier I find It's the really tiny fiddly aperture mechanisms I don't get on with. |

I look forward your moon shoots I expect impressive results from your 2000mm combo.
