DIAGONAL MIRROR CLEANING_

This diagonal has a high efficiency mirror which requires special handling. Scratches hap-

pen when dust or other abrasive particles are on the mirror and are wiped across the sur-

face during cleaning. Clean mirror ONLY when absolutely necessary.

1) Remove dust, dirt, grease, etc., from the mirror surface. Use rubber ear syringe (pur-

chased at any drug store) to blow off loose contaminants.

2) Make a pad with lens cleaning tissue (such as Kimwipes®), moisten it with fresh, reagent

grade acetone or a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and acetone to wash off grease. Gently

wipe across mirror surface using only the weight of the pad. Do not rub, this will scratch

the mirror. Do not touch the metal parts.

3) Slight residual stains or dust spots will have absolutely no visible effects in observing.

CAUTION: Do not clean mirror with water or water-based cleaners such as Windex® or

any other commercial lens cleaners. This is not a lens. All contain too much water and will

leave residue.
