corrector plate cleaning??

[Astronutjob]

Hello, my corrector plate for my sct seems to have dried spots etc on the glass, is this normal? im just wandering should i clean it or leave alone.Also if i were to clean it what gear/solution would i require?

Unless a bird has left an offering on it....just leave it, a few water marks are normal.

Little spots from where dew or condensation has dried is quite normal and providing there isn't too much of it don't worry about it.

For cleaning Baader Optical Wonder Fluid is the best thing out there.It's the only thing I will use for cleaning a lens or corrector plate.

Corrector plates are generally best left alone unless they get into a very bad state.

If you do need to clean it here is the advice Meade give:
