It looks like it might need a clean to get the dust etc. off...an open tube newt will always collect dust and such and will need an occasional clean...
Maybe I am not fussy enough and others may jump in and comment but I do not get too wound up or worried about a bit of dust or an occasional smudge...I don't think it makes much difference on the views...at least to my eyes...and that is why I have yet to clean any of my mirrors...
Remember that the relfectors of old used "shiny metal" as their mirrors and so even a "filthy, dusty, gunky" mirror will provide incredible views comparatively speaking...
I would only be concerned if there was a "gash" that cut through the coatings...I see a little dirt on the mirror but not big scratches...
I'd get that mirror out under the night shy and get some viewing time under your belt...
That is my 2 cents worth...
