The inside of the telescope is moldy. How to fix it?

Mild mildew inside the telescope can be gently wiped with professional mirror cloth to avoid scratching the mirror surface.

Telescopes should be stored in a ventilated, dry and clean place to prevent mildew. If possible, desiccant can be placed around the telescope and changed frequently.

There are no special requirements for using telescopes. Mainly to develop good habits, such as binoculars are mostly hand-held, and walking on your back should avoid bumping. Bird-watching glasses and astronomical telescopes installed on tripods or equatorial planes should also be handled with care.

Mould likes damp and warm places, and generally first becomes moldy on the prism and reticle. In this case, if the mirror is cheap, you can take it down and clean it yourself. If it is high-end, disassembly is not recommended.

Precautions for telescope protection

1, in order to avoid dust falling on the lens, cover the objective lens cover and eyepiece cover in time when using the telescope.

2. Don't touch the lens with your hands, so as not to affect the imaging clarity and subsequent cleaning by the oily fingerprints on the lens.

3. Don't put the telescope in a car under the scorching sun or expose it to the sun for a long time, so as to prevent high temperature from accelerating rubber aging.
