Hi, Lee.
Please do tell us of the results. After I sent my original tongue-in-cheek
message, I thought about my "net optical inventory" some more (which
consists of various 'n' sundry Zuikos from 24mm up to and including a
300mm, plus various telescope eyepieces, a Meade ETX that I have a
love/hate relationship with, and a 10" f 4.5 mirror destined for a
soon-to-be-built rich-field Dobsonian) and compared that against the cost
($95) and quantity that you get (roughly 6 fl. oz.) of the Opticlean
product and/or mirror re-coating costs.
Suddenly it doesn't seem like such a bad deal, especially if it's the only
game in town. Still, it better be good soup for that price. If I owned
any of the Zuiko high-dollar/super-speed/super-lenses I'd be thinking about
it even harder.
I seem to recall reading in the Shutterbug article that the solvent vehicle
in this stuff dissolves plastic. Be careful.
regards,
Mahlon

Hi all:
I just ordered a $95 Opticlean kit for the Observatory here. I'll be
testing it on Meade corrector plates, camera lenses, eyepieces, and
eventually our 24" primary (and maybe even the 6" and 12" Clark scopes).
I'll post a message to the list when I know more about how good it is.
Cheers,
