Hi, my ETX-scope has quite some dust on the optics. Could anyone tell me the best way to clean it? Is there a thrustworthy commercial cleaning solution/tissue?
Thanks.

Nico -

Gently blow off the dust with a bulb-type blower. You can also *carefully* use a lens brush to lightly sweep away any remaining dust. If there is not a lot of dust, the best thing to do is just leave it - it should not affect the telescope's performance.
