Look's like ye were right! Only a light smatter of dust here and there... But there are four solid black spots about a millimeter wide on the lower left of the mirror- they actually look like the southern cross! I've tried tuning the tube upside down and giving the back a light tap but they won't budge. Anyway I don't think they are affecting my image...

thanks for the help lads and sorry for the false alarm :oops:


Not to worry José! By the way, those marks on the mirror, if they do not budge, could be corrosion. I have seen it before when said 'deposits' do not move, and the marks are concentrated on one area. For now, you have nothing to worry about - so, don't worry about it!

:D
