Hello,
I need some how to clean the inside of the from glass of my new Nextar "8. Celestron.
Specially on cold night makes planetary viewing poor and foggy.
I'm just concern of having to collimate the hole thing after installing back.
I'm not touching nothing until proper advice. Thanks.
First buy a dew shield, this will help prevent dew for some period of time. You may also need to buy a dew heater for the scope. Depends on where you live.
DO NOT leave the scope pointed up toward the sky for long periods of time.
Bring the scope outside at least 1 hour before you are going to use it. This lets the optics reach ambient temperature which will give you better views.
Here is a retailer that sells a dew shield and dew heaters: Bring the scope inside for a day or two and see if the dew "inside" the tube vanishes all by itself, before you decide to open it up. The corrector lens must be reinstalled in the EXACT position it was in before you removed it.
