The image erector provides 1.5X magnification, which means that the 20-mm eyepiece 
will magnify objects from 45X to 68X when used in conjunction with the image erector. 
 
 
CARE AND CLEANING OF OPTICS 
 
Optical components of a telescope get dirty over time. Dirt or dust on a lens should be 
removed with the utmost care. A considerable amount of dirt or dust would have to 
accumulate on the optical surface before your view would be compromised. 
 
1)  Keeping dust caps on during storage and transport will reduce dust collection. 
 
2)  Condensation may collect on the optical surfaces when the telescope is not in use.  
Remove the dust caps and allow the moisture to evaporate naturally. Point the 
telescope downward to minimize the accumulation of airborne dust. 
 
3)  Once all moisture has evaporated, replace the dust caps. 
 
4)  Filtered, compressed air may be used to remove surface dust from lenses and 
mirrors. Remove the dust cap and the dew shield. Once removed, point the can away 
from the lens and gently expel some air and any condensation or dust that has 
accumulated on the discharge tube. Spray the lens or mirror with short bursts of air to 
carefully remove the dust particles. DO NOT HOLD THE TRIGGER OF THE 
COMPRESSED AIR CAN FOR EXTENDED PERIODS BECAUSE PROPELLANT 
FROM THE CAN MIGHT ESCAPE AND DAMAGE THE OPTICAL SURFACE.  
If, after several attempts, you cannot remove the particles, take the telescope to an 
optical professional for cleaning. 
 
If you keep the dust caps on your telescope when it is not in use and avoid handling the 
lenses or mirrors, only minimal optical maintenance of your telescope should be 
required. Extensive cleaning is usually only necessary every few years.
