Evscope Security Screws Removal
Unistellar and telescope owners loosely recommended a T10 Torx screwdriver to remove the telescope housing and replace the SD card. This is not precisely true. As T10 is a security screwdriver, I checked and had these in my toolbox and didn't give it any more thought. However, after the card arrived on Tuesday September 15th, I prepared to remove the telescope case and suddenly the screwdriver did not fit.

Actual screw on the eVscope that needs removal. A TT10 tool is needed - the screw has a center pin. |
confirmed this.
At left, This is a T10 that will not work to remove the eVscope screw. At right, this is a TT10 screwdriver incorrectly labeled as a T10. |
The big problem was half the screwdriver tools listed were incorrectly labeled, as seen in the photo with the blue handle screwdriver. This is clearly a TT10 incorrectly labeled as a T10. The TT10 screwdriver/ wrench has a central hole and the T10 does not.
