TAKING CARE OF YOUR TELESCOPE
Y
our telescope is a precision optical instrument designed for a lifetime of rewarding viewing. It will
rarely, if ever, require factory servicing or maintenance. Follow these guidelines to keep your telescope
in the best condition:
• Avoid cleaning the telescope’s lenses. A little dust on the front surface of the telescope’s correcting
lens will not cause loss of image quality.
• When absolutely necessary, dust on the front lens should be removed with very gentle strokes of a
camel hair brush or blown off with an ear syringe (available at most pharmacies).
• Fingerprints and organic materials on the front lens may be removed with a solution of 3 parts
distilled water to 1 part isopropyl alcohol. You may also add 1 drop of biodegradable dishwashing
soap per pint of solution. Use soft, white facial tissues and make short, gentle strokes. Change
tissues often.
CAUTION: Do not use scented or lotioned tissues or damage could result to the optics. DO NOT use
a commercial photographic lens cleaner.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
#928 45° Erecting Prism (1.25 O.D.): Correctly orients the telescopic image during terrestrial
observing and yields an image position at a 45° angle to the main telescope tube, resulting in a more
comfort-table observing position in most cases.
Additional Eyepieces (1.25" barrel diameter): For higher or lower magnifications with the telescopes
that accommodate 1.25" eyepieces, Meade 4-element Series 4000 Super Plössl eyepieces yield wide
fields of view with excellent edge-of-field corrections and are available in a range of focal lengths
including 6.4, 9.7, 12.4, 15, 20, 26, 32, and 40mm.
