Re-figure & Re-coat or buy new Mirror

[Snorbak (Matt)]

Can any one provide details of where I can have my existing mirror tested, improved if required & re-coated in Australia.
I have a 10" Skywatcher Truss Dob & after only 12 months the mirror is showing signs that the coating is starting to deteriorate.
Thank you in advance.

I thought that Sky Watcher Telescopes were covered by a five year warrantee. I would assume that the mirror would be included under the warrantee. Probably worth contacting the store that you purchased the scope from.

Edit: Found this thread with more information.

12 months seems awful short, has it gotten moist in humidity ?

Mark suchting does mirror testing -finishing, he is a member here, for re-coating I think most get it done at Qin in Sydney, don't know if any in qld does it?
