Orion Optics have quoted me around the £150 mark plus shipping but i would probably take it an collect when ready.

I did wonder as my Meade Supers fit perfectly in.

There are no numbers or anything else on the mirror. Sorry

It does yes, thanks for that

I thought that about the focuser but on putting an eyepiece in it was pretty tight, i think i will buy another though. I have attached photo of "Orange Thingy" I have taken the mirrors out and the secondary is pretty much fine but after i cleaned the primary i saw it has lots of spider like black marks on it see image. There are no numbers on either mirror.

I am not what you would call an astronomer by any stretch of the imagination. I basically have a Meade ETX105EC that comes out to play every now and again when the planets are on view or if i fancy having a look at the sun "With Filter". Recently i purchased a what i describe as a "Home Made" Russian Dobsonian, it is 6ft tall 12 inch tube and 10 inch mirror. When i bought it i knew the mirrors were filthy and now realise they are in need of replacing or re-coating. I only paid £85 for it and the mirrors will cost around £150 to re-coat. I honestly have no clue whether it is worth it or not which is why i am asking on this forum. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I mean i do not even know what the orange light thingy is. I am quite excited to see if i could get some use out of it
