Hi Tom,have you done a star test or observed anything with it since you cleaned it
Going by the images it doesn't look too bad, I don't think there is any great damage to the mirror it self.
I would put it back in the scope and give it a try,you will be surprised how
much you can see with it.
Sure there are some wear on the edges and maybe some spots but that won't effect the viewing too much if any.
You can get it re coated for a few hundred dollars.
True story
A 72" scope in America had six bullet holes in it but was used quite successfully for many years.
Cheers
