Paul,
SO hard to photograph!
They are radial - whoever cleaned it incorrectly was wiping the mirror in a circular fashion. Light enough to make me think at first they were spider silk, but even finer.
I agree completely - I really don't think there will be any noticeable degradation whatsoever, visually or photographically.
I hav begun the restoration in earnest - the focuser was the trickiest thus far - 2 hrs work - since there were numerous issues, most notably being the teflon pad of the drawtube being almost out of it's slot. How that happened, who knows, but considering the amount of DIY bodgery on this, it is unsurprising really.
I have now completely disassembled the primary cell housing and done a lot of work there too. I ordered the replacement Vixen decals, so hopefully I can get the OTA done soon.
