M. Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I've done the inevetible and got a fingerprint on the lens of my eyepiece and before I go buying various cleaning kits I'd thought I would best ask here as to see how you guys care for your equipment. I'm guessing the lens is very hard surfaced on the baader and will not scar up that easily, can I use a glasses lint free cloth of sorts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I've got a bottle of baader wonder fluid and a lint free cloth, just spray a little bit on and wipe. Coatings on eyepieces are pretty robust as long as it's a lint free cloth or one of those cloths you get for your glasses I think you will be fine. This is what I use: http://www.firstlightoptics.com/astronomy-optics-cleaning-protection/baader-optical-wonder-fluid.html M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 It looks like I can get the cloth too, will get it on order. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 +1 for the Baader wonder fluid. If you wear glasses, it works just dandy on them as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 +1 for BWF for eyepieces, scopes, and specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 It may look a bit expensive for just 100ml, but it does a great job and will last forever. We could probably just share the one little pot between everyone in EMS and still be using it in a couple of years time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 It would if we don't include Kim's massive eyepiece collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Would you believe I've only used my bottle once on an eyepiece. Most of the time it goes on Di's specs lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bino-viewer Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 It would if we don't include Kim's massive eyepiece collection Kim's only listing 10 eyepieces.........thats one for each of his telescopes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 I've used this baader fluid and cloth like 3 or 4 times in one week, the inevitable did happen and I got fingerprints on the sight glass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
