Maintenance and Cleaning

Your telescope is a precision instrument that does not need a lot of maintenance. When you are observing in humid conditions, the telescope will get wet with dew during the night. When you take the telescope back indoors after the observing session, do not immediately put the telescope into a sealed compartment. Put it on a rack or some other place where air ventilation can happen and let it dry before you put it away. Exposure to moisture does not harm your telescope directly, but permanent exposure might cause the groth of fungi that will have a negative effect on the telescope.
