Hey!
I cleaned all my EP's and my scope which has dust inside it(?) and the world didn't end and I didn't ruin anything!! Quite an achievement for my clumsy self!!
Used a mix of demineralised water, isopropyl alcohol and cotton buds.
Big mistake choosing the homebrand buds though - hairy little buggers!
Thankfully compressed air dealt with any stray fibres!
I'm not sure I'd give my efforts top marks, but everything is vastly cleaner than it was when I started and I call that a win!
Not sure I'd want to try and clean a newt just yet, but I'm pretty ok with a refractor! /whee
Rob the newbie scope cleaner!
