Take a look at TeleVue's webpage. Al Nagler has a lot of good info
including his advice on cleaning optics:

Subject: [M]: Optics Cleaning
What's the consensus of the List about the best way to clean the corrector
plate and/or the eyepieces?
I read in the Archives to use:
Water with drops of dish soap.... OR Distilled water with some Windex....
OR a solution of Alcohol and water.
And the LX200 manual says to use Isopropyl Alcohol 90%.
Use camel air brush... OR cotton balls... OR facial tissues?
I believe it is wise to clean al little as possible and imperative not to
scratch the surfaces while trying to clean, but sometime it is simply
needed. I'd appreciate the feedback so I can make a good choice. Thanks,
Ettore
