That sounds pretty good. This might be a stupid question, but would you un-mount it from the cell first? or just soak the whole thing, just make sure it's all nice and dry at the end...

i have removed the mirror and cell from the scope, I'm thinking I'd probably prefer to leave it mounted on the cell, unless someone has a reason why that's a terrible idea.
