My 102 has dewed up a couple of times and is in need of a cleaning. I was thinking of using the method posted on arksky.org. Has anyone used this on the Tak? What would you recommend? I dont want to damage the Flourite.

At the eyepiece can you see any difference? If not, why bother. If so, consider sending it to Art at TNR.

I personally think that the ASO cleaning method is about as comprehensive as you'll get. I cheated by substituting Baader 'Optical Wonder' fluid when cleaning the objective of my FS128 and was surprised at how easy and effective the whole process was.
