Re: Cleaning EP's

There's a great product available called "OptiClean". It's basically a liquid polymer that you paint on, let it cure and then pull it off the lens in one piece, taking grease and dust with it. It works great on eyepieces and I have also discovered it does an excellent job of cleaning CCDs as well.

How do you keep the OptiClean from the retaining rings of the eyepieces? Despite my efforts at preventing that, I had a real mess for me to clean up on a 19mm Panoptic.

Then, what if your dirt is mostly right around the retaining rings?
