We live in a hard water area and my wife goes absolutely crazy when the sun comes through the windows and shines on our clear glass shower doors. They have streaks and spots all over them even though she works very hard to keep them clean. When the sun is not shining on them, they look fine.

Several weeks ago someone had a similar situation and complained about dust specks on the mirror in his telescope. He said that when he shines a light down the tube he can see dust all over the mirror and wondered what he could do.

One of the answers that came back was, "Don't shine a light down the tube."

Unfortunately we can't stop then sun from shining through but I guess it's, "Accept the thing you can not change."
