will not harm the telescope. If you wish, you may apply some 

auto touch-up paint to the scratch. Smudges on the tube can be 

wiped off with a soft cloth and household cleaning fluid. 

Cleaning Optics 

Any quality optical lens cleaning tissue and optical lens cleaning 

fluid specifically designed for multi-coated optics can be used 

to clean the lenses of your telescope and eyepieces. Never 

use regular glass cleaner or cleaning fluid designed for eye-

glasses. Before cleaning, remove any loose particles or dust 

from the lens with a blower bulb or soft brush. Then apply some 

cleaning fluid to a tissue, never directly on the optics. Wipe the 

lens gently in a circular motion, then remove any excess fluid 

with a fresh lens tissue. Oily fingerprints and smudges may be 

removed using this method. Use caution; rubbing too hard may 

scratch the lens. On larger lenses, clean only a small area at a 

time, using a fresh lens tissue on each area. Never reuse tis-

sues. 
When bringing the telescope inside after an evening’s viewing 

it is normal for moisture to accumulate on the lenses due to 

the change in temperature. We suggest leaving the telescope 

and eyepieces uncovered overnight to allow the condensation 

to evaporate.
