Jeez.....well......this is how I start off my time on the forum I guess......

I just bought a 10'' Dobsonian telescope, and put it together tonight, but as I was opening the lid....I did so incorrectly and the lid fell through the scope and hit the mirror

I attached the image, it's brand freaking new mirror other than that spot right in the middle of it.

PLEASE tell me I don't need to have it replaced to work nearly as good as new, I've been dying to own a telescope and that would be a huge bummer!

Thanks for your time guys!
