Greetings friends. I recently acquired a telescope. It is nothing spectacular, but I believe it will prove to at least be as useful as my binocs, and perhaps will make a decent steppingstone until I get my 10" dob.
At any rate, this is a simple
Tasco Galaxsee Newtonian reflector on an Equitorial mount (hey, it was free). Now here is the issue. The person that previously had this, set it up, took it out once, decided they could not see anything and then brought it back in and set it in a corner for a significant period of time, with no eye piece in it and with no lense cap on it. So needless to say, the optics are rather dusty.
So I ask, before I completely take it aprt, what is the best practice for a thorough cleaning of the primary and secondary Mirrors on a newtonian reflector? Yes, I am googling this as well, but I figiured I would stop here and ask as well.
