OK, was cleaning up the entire scope that I got (older meade 12.5 dob) and the primary cleaned up well. The secondary, when touched with some soap/water (per the typical instructions) developed some nasty black spots right toward the middle 8O

Please tell me this is normal and to remove those you...etc., etc., etc....!!!!!

There is nothing to that I can feel, but it gives me the sick feeling that the soap ate right thru the coating or something!?!? (typical dawn in water, not much)

Anyone have any thoughts? ugh... sad
