PAINTBRUSH good enough for cleaning lenses????

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
I personally use one called "WOOSTER" brush, that was recommended by Dr.Clay for cleaning of the LX-200GPS corrector lense. (found it at LOWE's)
It is a small brush with very fine & soft hair (synthetic).

But yes, the recommendation here is NOT to OVER-DO the cleaning... only do it when REALLY necessary.


Clear skies & optics!

1993 Celestron C8+

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Tom, I used to have an early 1990's C8 OTA, and the optics were great on it...

As a side note, my OTA was NOT Fastar compatible, so I'm not sure if this will be something you'll want ot do or not, but if you do astrophotography or you are going to do it sometime in the future, might want to make sure it is compatible with it.


Clear skies!
