Clean time ? What should I use?
This scope has a mirror fan which I must admit I tend not to use much. Could this be a dew problem? As quite often particularly in winter the outside case is wet when I pack her away.

I put up a post before I read the others, and it looks like I was right. Salt corrosion of the raw alluminised mirror.
If you are smart you learn from other peoples mistakes.
I think my new rule # One is do not take your scope near the coast! Unless you are going to wash it after each session.
Too bad mate, looks like a re-silvering job.
