powerlord Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Ah - awoken by the tweet of the morning birds. A successful night of imaging the trunk of a Pachyderm and the land of the free nebula. Time to go outside and take some flats and move stuff inside.. ah the scope is pointing straight up from the end of the sessions last night.. er.. did that bird just take off from being perched on it.. er... no.. you've not have you, you little.... yes.. a bird has sh4t in my telescope - right over the lens. 😫 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Drew Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Clean it as soon as possible as the deposit could etch the coatings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerlord Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) Oh yes.. learned from years cleaning it off my cars. All clean now. I suppose on the plus side, it was at the end of the session! I know others swear by deionised water, etc - but I prefer Calotherm Calocoat - been using for years for my camera lenses. Cleaned it up no probs. stu Edited June 14, 2021 by powerlord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R26 oldtimer Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I'm sure this would be the first time that anyone would be glad imaging the night away with the cap on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
