Mirror Cleaning Miracle?

Hi All,

Okay, I'm as nervous about cleaning telescope mirrors as the next person (well, it terrifies me actually) so it was with some interest that I followed up a recent posting on the Yahoo Group BigDobs forum for this product:

http://www.photoniccleaning.com/

That is in truth pretty expensive (particularly for those of us with large mirror surfaces etc) but appears on the face of it to be a superb and extraordinarily clever product that takes most (if not all) of the risk out of cleansing a mirror, while producing a better result than amateurs can possibly ever hope for.

Apart from cost, can you think of a downside to this stuff?

I guess it will remove a (stick-on) centre spot too (hassle)?

Could also be useful for when you want to long-term store an optic safely.

Has anyone here used it?

I'm thinking of buying some and giving it a lash ...

If it is good enough to clean the Hope Diamond ...

What do you reckon?


Best,
