Carson Optical RP-200 Care and Maintenance of Your Telescope, Specifications, Customer Service

Care and Maintenance of Your Telescope:

Cleaning:

• Always replace dust covers and lens caps when not in use. This will minimize the amount of dust and debris that gets into your telescope.

• Cleaning should be performed only if absolutely necessary. If dust has built up on the optics use a soft camel’s hair brush or pressurized air to gently remove it.

• To remove dirt, grease or fingerprints, clean with a soft cotton cloth rubbing in a circular motion. Use of a coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause permanent damage.

• For a more thorough cleaning, photographic type lens cleaning fluid may be used. Always apply the fluid to the cleaning cloth, never directly on the lens.

• Avoid touching the surface of the objective lens.

• Do not attempt to take apart your telescope to clean it.
