How to Care For Your Telescope
Appropriate care of the telescope will allow many years of pleasant viewing enjoyment.
The Objective Lens
The objective lens of Telescope has been intensely polished and established to minute tolerances. It must
be cleaned with care and as seldom as possible to avoid affecting its precision and performance. An
inexperienced person must never take the lenses out of their mount.
Cleaning The Lens
Clean the lens only when it is required. The first step is to remove the dust with a camelhair brush or an
ear-type syringe. Set few drops of ether or isopropyl alcohol on a piece of clean cotton that has been
washed several times and wipe the lenses very delicately, avoiding circular motion. In addition, blow any
remaining lint or dust off with an ear-type syringe.
Sudden Temperature Changes
If possible, avoid taking the telescope from cold outside air into a warm room. This will make the objective
lens to be covered with condensed moisture, which must be removed at once. To do this, place the
objective lens at a safe distance from heat source and let it warm slowly until the moisture has vanished.
It is important to note that any stains left on the lenses must be
delicately wiped off after the lenses are completely dry.
