Pete (exfso) had $5000 damage done to his Takahashi when it picked up stray Aeroguard spray at Camp 2 years ago. The Aeroguard actually ate into the glass!!!
The scope had to go back to Japan to have it's primary lens replaced. $5000 plus freight both ways.

BEWARE of aerosols!
Ken, does the same apply to coils or the lamps that have the repellent candles in them?
