A freshly washed optic
It was time to give the TOA a little bit of TLC.... after a year of dust and dew gathered at Mt Stromlo and out at Bango the business end of the scope was looking decidedly second hand so out with the Jif and scourers ....
(Sorry forgot in my haste to take a before pic of the dew and dust spots
)
Edit:
Actually the Jif seemed a bit harsh so I used a camel hair brush followed by unscented Kleenex tissues moistened with some Baader Wonder Fluid. Then a lint free microfibre to polish the 'breathed on' lens.
A couple of stubborn spots were then found and dealt with by a gentle rub with saliva covered fingertip > Purosol > Baader Fluid > Lint Free Cloth....
