Just go and use the telescope. The coatings will be fine.
The mirror coatings on my 18" Obsession are 15 years old and it has had it a lot tougher than sitting in a shop window. It spent the first 6 years of its life living permanently within 100 metres of a large saltwater lake and the next 9 years of its life within 800 metres of the ocean. During those 15 years it has been continually exposed to dew and dust.
Stop worrying and just use it and enjoy it.
Cheers
John B
