hi, im new here, i just bought my first real telescope, i had a meade DS-60 given to me by a friend, it works to see some stuff and peaked my intrest.
i found a cave astrola 8" F/6 scope on ebay, and bought it. it came with a large GEM mount and clockdrive. the mirror says #M738616 47 7/8 nov 6 '73 on the side of it.it has some "stains" on the edge and some small spots on it....
can someone pls give me an estimate on the cost of refinishing, or re-silvering the mirror and where would i look to get it done? and if i should redo the main mirror, should i get the small one in the front(on the spider) redone too?
TIA.
