The thing was literally covered in dirt...theres a pic in my latest obs report. That film of clag is no longer there There are some remaining spots but it's nothing to loose sleep over, plus its an old mirror and could do with a recoat anyway. But in any case, the views will be better than before. First time I've seen this mirror out of the cell....it's a big heavy 2 inch thick beast!

I got good views before.....now the anticipation is mounting!
