That's asking for trouble IMO. Either spray it on directly, or wash your hands thoroughly afterwards. I am the same when I go fishing. Aerogard sprayed on directly because you don't want it on the bait, or terminal tackle. Unfortunately it's hard to know what people have on their hands when they wander up to your telescope 1/2 way through the night. That having been said I would expect that a diligent experienced observer would know not to put insect repellant on their hands when they are going to be handling optics or eyepieces.
