Thanks for the responses. I think i panicked prematurely, seeing the awful mess on the previously prefect mirror.
Seems to have dried up nicely!
It was a blow out seeing Jupiter for the first time, even through all that water on the eyepieces and mirror. Its my 3rd time out with the scope and the first few views were kind of a let down, me being inexperienced and not knowing where and what to look for.
Stars are cool and all but they look like dots, there is just more dots than when i look up without the telescope.
Very cool, could make out banding and even the little eliptic of the storm...
