Yes everything needs cleaning, the sensor and the scope as well is filthy. I was not worries about either as I am hopeful of a new cam and a bigger scope in the near future... but the mount works although I havent sortted auto guide and at least I can get some sky when I am living in Sydney.. I was not expecting as good a result..forgeting everything that is wrong I recon the polution is managable... doubt if I can get a 45 minute wide field however.
Thank for the encouragement
