For £89...............you cant go too wrong.

Flocking is lining the inside of the tube with anti-reflective flocking (self adhesive) that reduces the amount of light reflected from the tube sides. Helps improve contrast. The standard tube looks black inside until you see one that has been flocked with the proper material.

Have a look at this tutorial on flocking a 200p.

A few bits of tiny fluff aren't going to affect the scope so I'd leave the mirror alone at this point.

Pity FLO has run out of them, but I believe a few other dealers have some left for just over £100.00.

The price of that flocking material, it'd cost me £38 for the 3 sheets I need for my scope and shipping. There must be somewhere cheaper in the UK.
