HELP ! I know it is not good to clean optics, but I have no choice. I have a couple of achromats with oily finger prints on them, (skin oil) and a couple of large eyepieces, that look like they have oily brush marks on them. (from eyelashes?) It's very nice used equipment that came like this. What is the best way to safely remove this stuff, without effecting the multicoatings. Is there a " best cleaner " or " best cleaning pad " Please help me out here. Thank you very much for any help you can give me. Mark.
