Generally the same as you would clean the lens of a camera or glasses. Soft, lent free cloth on any exterior surface. Is this a refractor or reflector telescope? Another point, the higher the magnification the more sensitive to vibration the viewing will be, usually requiring more substantial and stable support of the telescope. I add this as the tripod|stands provided with many basic telescopes are worthless for most practical purposes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:255386 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
