Re: Cleaning Agent for optics -- want some??

I've read the TAC write-up. It, like most postings (I think), addresses the
cleaning of coated glass lenses, rather than aluminized mirrors. The
principles _may_ be the same. That's what I'm trying to find out. Should
acetone be used to dry a mirror? Damaging an eyepiece would be unfortunate,
but scratching the mirror could put me on the sidelines for months.

Thanks, Peter
