Marks on Meade 12" Dob Mirror

Hi all,

I have a 12" Mead Lightbridge. There are a few marks which appear to be on the underside of the mirror. Do they make any difference to the scopes capacity to resolve objects? If so how to a get a new mirror (or the old one re-silvered)?

Also I have a darkish disk in the centre of the viewing area, I have adjusted the mirror with my laser setup divide and bobs knobs, but its still there. What do I need to adjust to remove it? Or is it related to the marks on the mirror.?

Thanks in advance for answering my newbie questions.

Chris
