How to clean telescope eyepieces

I show you how to clean telescope eyepieces in this episode. While telescope eyepieces are generally maintenance-free, it’s good practice to keep your eyepieces clean. Over time, the oils on our skin will make the housing of our eyepieces sticky and this can attract dirt. Oils can also get on the lens which makes for a blurry view. Here are the tools I will use in this video: 1. Squeeze bulb air blower 2. Brush: http://amzn.to/2Cgd0dB 3. Cotton swabs 4. Microfibre cloth 5. Alcohol 6.
