Thanks, will try both methods suggested. Hoover as first option, then if needed may take apart. Definitely needs collimation as I will undoubtedly have messed with the setup trying to take it apart. Thanks for the video. Will update after I have tried these. Thanks to Wesdon for the eyepiece advice too.

Hi guys, Sorry to revive a possibly dead post, I just bought a Tasco d=114mm f=900mm for the kids. Trying to set it up, I realised it wasn't stored in the greatest conditions and as such a couple of spiders thought a reflective surface was a great location. I am unsure how to safely take it apart for cleaning and what EPs to get as it only came with one eyepiece that the reverse can apparently be used for viewing the moon. Any guidance would be great guys. Thanks in advance
