Reflection




How do you clean a reflecting telescope mirror? Verr-r-r-y carefully! 
The mirror on our 10" Dobsonian telescope had picked up a good coating of dust, plus some bug had walked across the mirror, dragging his butt - great.
After soaking in warm water solutions, cotton balls are drawn gently across the mirror surface, followed by a distilled water rinse.
