4. Maintenance
The objective lens (14) of the TELES1 must be cleaned with care and as seldom as possible to avoid affecting its
precision and performance. An inexperienced person must never take a lens out of its mount.
First try to remove the dust with a soft brush or by blowing. Moisten a piece of clean cotton with a few drops of ether
or isopropyl alcohol and wipe the lenses very delicately, avoiding a circular motion.
If possible, avoid taking the telescope from cold outside air into a warm room. This will cause the objective lens to be
covered with condensation, which must be removed at once. To do this, place the telescope at a safe distance from
any heat source and let it warm slowly until the condensation has vanished. Any stains left on the lens must be
delicately wiped off when the lens is completely dry.
