It's no wonder they were hidden

That's an understatement!!!. 10-20 stars...it's a wonder they were able to even distinguish them from the background "noise" at all. And, being so dimmed by the dust would make the job even harder. 30000 OC's is probably even a conservative estimate, but still, that's a lot of star clusters.
Yeah, gold plated mirrors. Might just take the mirror down to the bank and cash it in!!!!
You can buy gold plated mirrors from RCOS and PlaneWave Instruments. Don't know how much they are, but if you're into IR research etc, you can get one for your scope.
