Telescope Cleaning & Maintenance Kits

 
 

But if you find a cleaning is needed, we have you covered. We have a wide selection of cleaning materials to suit your needs, such as lens pens, cleaning fluid, microfiber cloths, as well as other supplies. When cleaning lenses and mirrors, it’s important not to apply cleaning fluid directly to the surface, because it may seep through the lens edges and leave stains where you cannot reach them. Instead, dab a small amount on a cloth or clean tissue.

Besides cleaning fluid, you can also use acetone or rubbing alcohol, though we recommend you not use acetone on camera or binocular lenses, as it may dissolve the lens coatings. As always make sure your immediate area is clean of dirt and debris and that you’re careful not to touch the lens surface. With careful, delicate precision, cleaning is a simple and easy way to brighten your scope's views.
