Lens cleaning
Do not let dust, fingerprints, etc. get on the lenses. Dirt on the lenses, filters, etc. will adversely
affect the view of the image. If any of the lenses gets dirty, clean it as described below.
* Either brush away dust with a soft brush, or gently wipe away with gauze.

moistened with absolute alcohol (ethyl alcohol or methyl alcohol).

* Do not wipe the entrance lens on the eyepiece tube with petroleum benzine.
« Absolute alcohol and petroleum benzine are both highly flammable. Be careful when handling

* Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer when using absolute alcohol and petroleum
benzine.
