the astrodon filter is certainly recoverable.

I used some solvent and cotton tips to clean it as soon as i had the glue mishap, and it basically came off straight away. However, there were some 'smear' type marks left after, and whilst I'm sure they will come off with a wash and buff with a microfibre cloth, last night at the time i was just so stressed and annoyed at my errors that i decided to put it back together and worry about the astrodon later.

I also am wondering if the camera is not powering up because that ribbon cable i mentioned is misaligned. so might be worth another look with fresh eyes at a later date.

Maybe i should just save for a cooled CCD...
