Re: Fingerprint smudge on corrector plate

I would not think that a fingerprint smudge (and the possibility of reactions from a fingerprint smudge) would seriously degrade image quality. Before shipping my scope off to repair (for an unrelated problem) my collector plate was filthy with pollen and dust that had adhered to the dew on it. I don't think the image suffered at all. It came back from Meade perfectly cleaned, although I could not detect a better image. IIRC, a disgruntled employee at Mt. Palomar shot the primary mirror (with a 30-06?)  and the embedded bullets did not affect image quality.
