Hi,
I need some expert advice here please. Is there a special eyepiece wrench available to take out the retaining ring in a eyepiece instead of using a jewelers screw driver? I found a really sweet mint Tasco 7-TE5 in a antique store and wish to clean up the eyepices and 3x barlow. They look like they have never been used but could use a cleaning. The main objective is perfectly clean. Any tips and tricks on cleaning would be appreciated too. Oh, is there a correct orientation on the eyepiece lens after I take it out? In other words could I put it in upside down? I was amazed how sharp this little pup is while viewing the moon tonight.
