  1. After the various cleaning agents had little effect the Dremel was the last resort as the bin was all it was good for otherwise. I was gentle, polishing rather than grinding.
  2. This thread was very useful. After a few years in storage I very recently took my Lunt LS60T out and discovered it had this problem. Spent a whole day thinking it was just hazy cloud! Finally had a look and saw the issue. My scope is 10 years old and I am the original owner. Lunt quickly put me contact with Brewer Germany and my replacement filter has just arrived - no cost to me. I am sure I saw one on the Lunt site for about $7. I am very happy with this level of aftercare!! Lunt were able to tell me that the blue glass is a UV Cut filter. The newest version has a coating to inhibit this build up. They also confirmed it was OK to try and clean the old BG filter and suggested CLR. I used stuff lying around the house which didn’t do much so I polished it up with a soft wheel at low speed on the Dremel and whatever the red compound is that came with the Dremel. I’m not suggesting that anyone do this of course. I did it knowing that I could completely ruin it. I was careful not to scratch the glass! Finished the process with a little bit of car polish. Result was very effective, not perfect, but a massive difference. Had a few minutes with a decent view and ran off a few AVIs. It’s been cloudy or I have been busy ever since!
