Just cleaned the primary of my XT 10. Seems that the Florida environ is tough on mirrors. While the cleaning was a success, the poor thing is missing some silver after 4 years and 5 months of garage storage. Gotta luv distilled water. grin

Collimated, always do it after removing the cell, and ready to go.

Of course it is cloudy!
