Hi there celestial gazers,
My first post - I scored a 6" (152mm) by 1900mm Maksutov Cassegrain
. It is from a relative that bought it a trade fair years ago and never used it that much. It is Saxon branded. It comes with a non-automatic mount and a couple of eye-pieces. It's in fairly good condition except the dust cap was left off of the diagonal so the diagonal mirror is very dusty and there is some dust in the main body but not too badly in there.
Could someone please give me some quick advice about the following?
1) Is it possible for me to clean? It is plausible for me to take out mirrors and clean them in alcohol or something (no air?) and reassemble.
2) What would I expect to see with this?
3) I've read on the forums that this is a rebranded scope of reasonable quality... is it worth spending some money on?
Any thoughts greatly appreciated!
