My Orion ED102 got rained on and need some advice.

Hi guys.

After about 2 months of no observing due to weather/time I set up my gear on Saturday nigh. The sky looked a little patch but noting serious, good enough to get some drifting done and some find tuning should the weather get bette. Anyway after setting up I went inside for about an hour and there must have been a short but heavy downpour. I had the cap off my refractor and rain had pooled on the lense. Now I seem to have water trapped between two lenses.

If I unscrew the element to clean it and I put it back together myself am I gong to mess up the alignemt of the two lenses, or is that not really an issue, cant see why it wouldnt be?

Any advice, links on cleaning a refractor?

Thanks
