Cleaning Celestron C8 Schmidt plate with effort and caution

Product Description
Cleaning a Schmidt plate of an SC is relatively time-consuming and must be done with great care. And should only be done when absolutely necessary. Dust can be removed with a blower, for example. Never work with a cloth under pressure. Always use as little contact as possible.

There are various markings on the Schmidt plate, tube, and secondary mirror that must be observed.

You should also create markings to make assembly easier.

A word about cleaning a Schmidt plate:
A Schmidt plate rarely needs cleaning. Dust particles or small streaks do not affect the optics!
The glass surface of the plate is coated! This coating reacts sensitively to mechanical and chemical stress.
We only clean Schmidt plates in absolute exceptional cases!
If you absolutely want to clean the record, please note the following points to avoid causing permanent damage:

Do not allow (skin) oils or acids to come into contact with the record - wear gloves,

Human skin is a carrier of oils and acids!

Never use household cleaning products - no glass cleaners, dish soap, or similar.

Use Optical Wonder and a microfiber cloth (lint-free).

Do not apply pressure to the record.

Never wipe particles away, always blow them away.

Do not blow with your mouth, only with a blower.

Pay attention to markings and retaining plates, ensuring they are returned to their original position.
