So far, it looks and works great.. used it on my new camera lens yesterday. It won't work on the tiny eye lens of the series 500, GSO plossls or Orthos in the short focal length, but on any eye lens bigger than about 10 or 11mm, it'll work well.
Can someone tell me what this lens pen comprises of? How does it work. What's on the end of the pen that actually does the cleaning (& what is it made of)? Looks to be like a small pad of some sort.

Works well for me, I haven't any idea how long they last for ??

I beleive the pad on the end is a soft chamois material, and the cap contains some kind of powder. The instructions say before cleaning give a cap a twist one full turn.

How is the oil/dirt removed from the lens pen after each cleaning to prevent it from being transferred to the next eyepiece?
See my earlier post. I do most of the cleaning with windex and polish up any remaining smears with the lens pen.
I got one a few weeks ago from Bintel. I've used it several times on my camera lenses and filters. Haven't used it on the eyepieces yet, but mainly because a TOUcam has been in the way
I'm happy with how it performs on the camera lenses, and think it will do just a good job on the eyepieces. I'm glad I got it.
Hm I need one of these as well. Might be handy for getting finger prints off my glass. I dont know how I manage to keep getting them on the bottom of my GS barlow!
I bought the Celestron lens pen the other day from York Optical. Great stuff.
One end of the pen has a retractable brush, the other has a cleaning pad. The pad is cleaned and recharged by putting on the end cap and twisting. There is a sponge thingy on the inside of the cap.
Could you use one of these to clean the spots off your ccd chip?
Got a few of those lens pens for different pieces of equipment , they seem to work well but im not confident about the pad end , they seem to me to leave a film of residue on old eyepieces that ive tested
nice signature JJJenitte {the Dyson
