I'm rapidly working up the motivation to install my C8 Hyperstar.
FYI, My motivation is directly proportional to the duration of cloudy nights here in Brisbane. (Says he, as it rains again....)
I want to clean the 10-15 year old corrector lens while doing the install, and also perhaps a gentle de-dust of the main mirror, which looks pretty good under a light.
I have a photographic lens brush with spongy lens-cleaning thingy on the other end, will perhaps use that on the mirror. I also went to Bunnings today and bought the softest little 25mm paintbrush they had, for general lens de-dusting.
My plan is to immerse the corrector in a plastic bowl of water with a few drops of filtered dishwashing detergent and a micro cloth to swab it, then rinse in a filtered demineralised water solution, with a drop or two of Windex and dishwasher rinse liquid in it, for dewetting.
After drying, install the Hyperstar stuff.
Any suggestions on aspects of cleaning the SCT internals would be appreciated.
