Meade LX200 Corrector & Mirror cleaning

Hey guys,

Had a quick question.

The 12" LX200 that I'm rebuilding has a fairly dirty corrector plate with stains that appear to be condensation left over from a night of viewing and never cleaned off.

In an ideal world, is it likely that I can send JUST the corrector (and secondary) with primary to Meade to have cleaned and recoated or are they not interested in doing so. If they don't offer that service, who does? I'd like to have the corrector stripped and recoated. I'm sending the OTA out for powder coating shortly and figured I'd do something about the optics while that's being done.

Suggestions?


Thank you, as always,


Phil
