1. Replace the lens covers when you are not using the telescope. This step will protect the lens from dust and other contaminants.
   
   
2. Some dust accumulation on a lens is normal. However, if the dust thickens, use a can of compressed air and a camel's hair brush to clean the lens.
   
   
3. Only a professional can clean the mirrors. If you can't find a telescope repair facility, return the device to the factory.
   
   
4. Your telescope might require collimation if you have handled it roughly or dropped it. Turn the collimation adjustment screws at the back of the optical tube or order a collimation tool from the factory.
