Cleaning bits from the primary

[griff44]

Not long had my new scope and already i can see bits on the primary mirror - must have blown inside when i was outside but with the mirror being so far inside what's the best method for getting rid of them?????

Cheers

Griff,

Most people wouldn't worry about it. You're always going to get dust on your mirrors, and it really doesn't make any noticeable difference to your views. Cleaning mirrors is a big deal as they're so easily damaged, and people tend to tackle it only once every few years.

Just learn to live with it!

I'm considering flocking my 6" Newt and might give the primary a clean at the same time, while it's out. Might that be an idea for you too, griff44?
