She is here with me so tv no sat cov and the dog is not happy.. 

Heads up guys the gods are playing tonight as started here grey and nasty heading north sorry @Stu  as i think last time you got the brunt of it.

the ETX 70 Holds 6 AA batteries = 9V, So either get a replacement battery holder from the Bay if unable to ressurect the old one. Other Idea is to use a buck Converter to go from 12 to 9V 

Hi Lucas and welcome to SGL a friendly family.

Windex is too strong for the coatings

thats a no no

for the corrector plate not in your league but you get the understanding

I don't understand your obsession to clean the corrector plate I have a celestron c5 circa 90's only once have i cleared the dew and mess on the corrector plate and mine is lined with cork. and marks on the corrector mirror for refitting. Your Mak should be fine depends on how you store after a session as you say full of dust... Why?
