Postie Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Hi,I was making a dew hood for my telrad last night and I noticed that my main mirror is quite dirty, the scope is over a year old and the mirror has not been cleaned yet. What do we do about cleaning them? Its not something I want to do unless I have to...Any advice welcomeThanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvaz Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I guess it depends how dirty is quite dirty. IMO if you can't notice a real decrease in the image quality then leave it alone.If you can't go without cleaning there are a few threads of members who did it before, explaining the best procedures.Edit:here's one: http://stargazerslounge.com/equipment-discussion/94769-cleaning-my-16-mirror-first-contact.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
