Telescopes & Binoculars Telescope User Manual

Care and Maintenance

If you give your telescope reasonable care, it will last a life-

time. Store it in a clean, dry, dust-free place, safe from rapid

changes in temperature and humidity. Do not store the tele-

scope outdoors, although storage in a garage or shed is OK.

Keep the dust caps and covers on when not in use.

Cleaning Lenses

Any quality optical lens cleaning tissue and optical lens clean-

ing fluid specifically designed for multi-coated optics can be

used to clean the exterior lens surfaces of the GoScope’s

objective lens, eyepiece, and reflex sight. Never use regular

glass cleaner or cleaning fluid designed for eyeglasses. Before

cleaning with fluid and tissue, blow any loose particles off the

lens with a blower bulb or compressed air. Then apply some

cleaning fluid to a tissue, never directly on the optics. Wipe the

lens gently in a circular motion, then remove any excess fluid

with a fresh lens tissue. Oily fingerprints and smudges may

be removed using this method. Use caution; rubbing too hard

may scratch the lens. For the large surface of the objective

lens, clean only a small area at a time, using a fresh lens tis-

sue on each area. Never reuse tissues.
