 My old model Celestron telescope’s corrector plate has spots and the purplish-bluish coating appears to be peeling off. Does it need recoating?
Answer

Spots that can’t be cleaned off and peeling are signs of deteriorated optical coatings.

Celestron no longer provides coating services.

See this website for coating companies that specialize in astronomical telescopes:
