Hi, I'm trying to rebuild an old 10" Newt for astro imaging. The mirror coatings are past their prime. Could you guys recommend someone to
re -coat the mirror? :help: I was hoping to get some sort of overcoating but don't know if anyone in Aus does this. Sorry if this has been asked before.:whistle:
Clear skies,

what kind of prices do they ask to recoat mirrors.? because the silver coating is the easy part (I have chemists that can help me at uni do that) its just the coatings that im not too sure of because aluminium or silver oxidizes fast forming a nutrilizing layer
? opinions.?
