Title: Your newtonian needs re-coating!
Post by: Rocket Pooch on Jun 23, 2009, 11:06:29
Hi,

My 12" needs a new shiny coat, also so does the primary mirror from my newtonian.  I found these guys who are local and I'm taking it to them, http://www.galvoptics.fsnet.co.uk/telescope7.htm

The prices are very very good.

I have a 6" f8 + flat, would you be able to take those to if I dropped them off around your place before then?
