first round of cleaning ....
I used a solution of distilled water with detergent and some acetone- came out better than expected, I then dabbed the inside with some acetone but that seemed to take the black paint off, so I used careful tea tree oil to discourage mould/fungi. I then re-assembled and the last pic is a screen shot of a road sign 2.3 km away across the valley, seems ok collimation wise. Need a star check but weather really crummy currently. Would love to give it a blast on the planets.
