Best Cleaning Gear

Folks;


I've had a quick search and found threads on cleaning mirrors and camera sensors, but I couldn't find an answer to...what do most people clean their optics with?


I'm talking about those bits of the 'scope that get exposed to the skies when we point them upwards. Dirt, dust, dew...a lot of the external surfaces get exposed to the elements. What does everyone use to clean them?


For my own part, I've had a lot of camera lenses over the years, and I've been using the lens cleaning tissues and lint-free cloth that I'd use to clean a camera lens after each observing session. I was curious as to what other folks might use though. I've heard of compressed air and all sorts of different techniques, so what works best for you to keep the glass clean?
