Thanks for your help with my question about my new scope.

So I have played with my 10" hardin now for a few nights.
I have a few obserations.
1. The X2 barlow may work on the moon but make mars look blury.
2. It looks like there is a light coating or haze on the primary mirror
10" and none on my old 4.5 does the 10" need cleaning?
3. Rotaion bearing way to easy-- i will need to put felt down to stop
this.
4. Does a 2" plossl do more for viewing then a 1.25. Is it worth the
upgrade for a backyard duffus like me.

PS this is the kit the scope came with -- Celestron #94304. It is OK or
junk?
