Just wanting to know how to clean the outside of my telescopes corrector plate.
Condensation built up on the outside of my SCT on viewing nights through the cooler months and little bits of dust and stuff stuck on. HOW DO I CLEAN IT SAFELY WITHOUT SCRATCHING THE CORRECTOR PLATE??
Here is the information off celestrons instruction manual for cleaning SCT's
If dust has built up on the corrector plate, remove it with a brush (made of camel’s hair) or a can of pressurized air. Spray at an
angle to the lens for approximately two to four seconds. Then, use an optical cleaning solution and white tissue paper to remove
any remaining debris. Apply the solution to the tissue and then apply the tissue paper to the lens. Low pressure strokes should
go from the center of the corrector to the outer portion. Do NOT rub in circles!
I dont have a can of pressurized air (unless an air compressor can be used) and I dont have a camel hair brush.
Any Tips appreciated
cheers
