A really interesting idea. My first thought was that a) I didn't even really know people?had mirrors recoated and b) I would probably never need that with something like an SCT. Maybe a Dob. And then on the Cdn Astronomy marketplace on FB, there was a posting this week for someone selling his 16" truss Dob and lo and behold, what does he say? The mirrors might need recoating. Which made me think, "Hey, there might be someone in Ottawa who can do that at some point."
