Cleaning optics

[Bino Pete]

Hi, I've got some of this in stock,

http://www.boots.com/en/Boots-Pharmaceuticals-Spectacle-Lens-Cleaner-120ml-_1132029/

would this be OK to clean my telescope lens and/or eyepieces with some tissue or microfibre cloth?

thanks.

STOP ! Do not use any cleaning fluids,on any optics ,they have very delicate coatings  and they might get ruined  by these .you may see other fluids that are for optics keep away from them ,I,have never cleaned my ep's in years and never will ,sir Patrick  Moores 12.4 inch scope almost looked frosted. But he used it for years like that

+1 for Baader Wonderfluid, but only clean if you think the image has deteriorated and never use on mirrors.
