I have been using my new scope for a few weeks now, and now feel I need to know some general care tips. I left my scope out on Saturday night and there was an unexpected shower (unexpected by me anyway). So now I have got a wet scope. I assume when I put it away in its case (JMI) that it has the potential to go moldy in all the wrong (expensive) places. I have towel dried the scope and left it outside for a few hours in warm air. I also left it in the case with the lid off for 8 hours before putting it away. But is this enough? Should I get some moisture absorbing packs to put in the case? If so, where can you buy them?

What about the eye peices and objective lens - how should I clean these (wipe of dust etc), or should I just leave them as is? I remember seeing a web site with some tips, but can't find it now.

Hope someone has some tips for me.

Thanks

Matt
