The lens and eyepieces in your 

telescope can get dirty over time, and 

utmost care must be taken when 

cleaning them. Here are some tips for 

keeping your telescope in good 

working order: 
1.   Keep the dust caps on when not in 

use or when transporting the    

telescope.

2.  Condensation can occur when the 

telescope is not in use. If this 

happens, remove the dust caps 

and allow the moisture to 

evaporate naturally. While doing 

this, keep the telescope pointing 

downwards  to avoid dust 

accumulating on it. Replace the 

cap as soon as the condensation 

has gone.

3.  If the lens looks like it is dusty, try 

blowing away any particles. If your 

lens requires more cleaning then 

use a moistened lens tissue or 

cloth (not included).
