I don't know if there is much point in hassling Andrews about it. I'm not gonna send the scope back to Sydney for minor flaws that wouldn't be noticeable at the EP. I probably voided the warranty anyway by taking the mirror out!
It's probably a matter of this mirror having just passed quality control. These scopes are very cheap after all. The chips in the glass do not affect the coated surface, and the one blemish on the surface is small. My only concern is that it doesn't grow.
Most GSO Dob owners on these forums seem to have the 10", which have pyrex mirrors, so it'd be much less prone to chipping. The cheap 8" ones have window glass mirrors. Have any other 8" owners here taken out the mirror? How does yours look?
