Have i ruined my scope for long term use?
Ok so ill set the scene.
I bought a laser collimnator jiggy so i could align everything before i take the scope away this weekend coming. So the laser was on and i had my allen key/screwdriver thing and the tip fell off (it must have become unmagnetised or something) and fell down onto the mirror and down the side.
It has left a tiny little dot on the mirror that i can only assume is a chip, now i just had it out and checked out the moon while it was still light and there was no noticable difference but what effect might this have on future viewing for DSO's and whatnot.
I am not so naive to assume nothing.
Further it was so annoying becasue i have been so careful around it, moving gently and always having the covers on and whatnot... well thats my story... FML lol
