Re: Whuh??
Could they be water spots on the inside of the corrector?
With close inspection can you tell if it is on the inside or outside?
If the outside it should not be fungus.

Re: Whuh??
Mark the position of the corrector like in the picture. Unscrew the corrector. Clean it with a mild soap and a scratchfree wet cloth. Don't go scrubbing.
Keep the cover on, because it is black you'll see every contamination.
Rinse with a wet cloth.
Dry with a scratchfree cloth.
Blow it dust-free
Screw the corrector back on and reposition according to the markers.
Ready! No collimation needed.
Try to work in a dust free environment. Because the background is black, you'll see every little spec of dust. Not that it matters for the image, but selling is another story.

Re: Whuh??
Is dishwashing soap too strong? I remember years ago that people were using distilled water and alcohol, but I think that was for primary mirrors.
