Mould issues: Somehow, the scope tube has a problem with some mould. How, I have no idea as it's always been kept in a dry and gently heated outbuilding under a cover with the only access point I'm aware of, the eyepiece mounting port, carrying a screw-in plug, when not in use.
However,the bottom line is that the main mirror is affected and to a very small degree, the inside of the main objective lens. The good news is that the viewing images, both Celestial and Terrestrial are good.
I've been in touch with Meade.UK who advise to leave well enough alone.
Some of the upper tripod legs have some surface corrosion but function perfectly and finally the Autostar hand controller's buttons have developed a 'hazing' but also function perfectly.
