My 12.5" Mirror arrived today from the L&L Optical Coating shop. The mirror looks great. Very nice job indeed. $86 for protected aluminum and it looks just like new. 
Took it out tonight and it is definitely a brighter image than before. I was in the backyard, which sucks, and I still got to find 30+ Objects in about 2 hours of viewing. Found a few things like planetary nebula's that I did not think I could see here with all the light pollution.
It took a total of exactly 2 weeks from sending it to receiving it. Not bad at all.
Amazing how good a mirror looks after a new coat is put on it! Man my coatings were in bad shape. :S I should have done this a while back.
