Yeah, I tend o agree with Lee.
My first thoughts were that seeing conditions were pretty bad.
I also agree that there is not too much that you can bugger up in the process.
The one exception (as Lee also mentioned) is to over tighten the primary mirror clamps. But your description did not support that type of symptom.
Depending on your mirror cleaning process and rinsing off process of course.
Shine a torch on the mirror surface to make sure there is no residue on the surface. But remember, even a clean mirror may find it tough to stand up to the torch test and look pristine. Don't be too critical.
Give it another try when conditions are stable to re-assess the situation.
