Photo of 1977 blue tube notice mirror coating is gone

I wrote a long post about this but closed my blogpress software before it posted and lost the post.

Rather than recreate it, I'll write more later.

Notice much of the coating is gone but the mirror and scope could be restored. I think it might be interesting to do a partial restore and fix up the optics a bit, simply recoating it and perhaps adding a different finder.

We will see what happens. We don't look thru this now. But I set it up to quickly look at the moon last week. I also took a photo of the moon with this last week. The photo of course wasn't very good, I'll post one of them later.
