djpaul Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Hi Just been out for a quick session with my new Delos eyepieces ( which are great BTW Rob & Pete ) I felt a few rain drops so frantically grabbed my gear to bring it indoors After removing my eyepiece and packing it away one rain drop managed to land on the stardiagonal mirror leaving a splat of water on the mirror At the moment i have just left it but need advise on removing it I have Baader fuid but remember seeing a thread saying not to use it on mirrors as its only for glass Im guessing this is going to dry leaving a water mark What is the best saft method of removing it when it dries Please help if you can Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brantuk Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Wick it off with a point of a very soft piece of tissue before letting it dry. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I don't find blemishes on star diagonals much of a problem but I've given up on star diagonals completely for photographic use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to use mine for photography, and especially if i throw a powermate in. There's not enough out focus otherwise. My 2" is quite good at eating up lightpath !
