[Telescope Maintenance]How to maintain a telescope
and how to clean and maintain the telescope lens
Many people own telescopes, even Many friends also have military binoculars. Although they have such good things, many people do not know how to use them and how to maintain them. Today, I will answer your questions one by one.
1. Do not wipe the objective lens or eyepiece with other ordinary cloths. Use the flannel or other soft cloth included in the telescope bag to wipe the eyepiece objective of the telescope.
2. When removing the remaining dirty spots or stains, you can drop one or two drops of alcohol, preferably with a cloth, because it is difficult to control the amount of drops.
3. Although everyone buys waterproof mirrors, there will be no problems in use even if they fall into the water. But as far as maintaining the telescope is concerned, keeping the telescope in a dry environment is beneficial and harmless to the baby’s coating and telescope. The waterproof and nitrogen-filled functions are only in case of falling water and dampness, and are not afraid of dampness and mold growth on the internal optical parts.
4. Don’t try to clean the inside of the telescope or disassemble the telescope. The telescope is actually very complicated. If the optical axis is broken, it can only be debugged on the special instrument for debugging the optical axis of the telescope. As long as the telescope is disassembled, its optical axis will change, so that the imaging of the left and right tubes will not overlap, which will make your glasses uncomfortable, and can not be used at all in severe cases. Do not drop, press or other violent actions on the telescope, mainly because of the optical axis of the telescope.
5. Do not use a telescope to observe the sun directly. This is a major precaution for all telescopes. The strong sunlight is focused by the telescope, just like a magnifying glass, which will burn your eyes!
6. Due to cost and self-weight, and portability considerations, most of the current telescopes are not metal mirror bodies, which are easily damaged by heavy falls and heavy pressure. So everyone should love her like a dog.
7. The desiccant does not really make much sense for the waterproof telescope, and it should be thrown away after one year of failure. But for babies that are not waterproof, it is best to replace them regularly (six months to one year) to prevent the interior from getting damp and mildew. The desiccant should be available, and some products are also available, which can be borrowed.
8. After using the baby, when placing it, first check if there are foreign objects on the table, and do not put it on other items to prevent scratches or stains on the objective lens and eyepiece.
9. The telescope should still be placed in the right direction, and the eyepiece should not be placed down. Because some parts are coated with lubricating grease, and some places are also designed with oil storage grooves, it may flow to the place where it should not flow if it is placed upside down for a long time or the weather is too hot.
