Thanks to everyone that's chimed in! All good advice! and surprisingly Guy's advice isn't too far off. I found on Weasners ETX site a good deal of info and most of it is very similar to that given here. The local Guru on Weasner's is Doc. Clay. I've included the link to Doc Clay's advice for a homemade cleaning mixture, it's a bit complicated in the steps you take and I'm not sure that I'll be going to that much trouble, although I would like to find those cotton pads he mentions. I've also found that OPT sells his solution in a kit http://www.optcorp.com/product.aspx?pid=1952&kw=clay&st=2 It's a bit pricey for me so I'm going to give the windex diluted with some distilled water and alcohol a try and let you know how it went. I hope to get some pictures posted of the fingerprints so you can all see what it looks like. I did check the MAPUG website and they all suggest the blue windex as well. Thanks again Howard On 3/10/07, diveboss@xmission.com <diveboss@xmission.com> wrote:
It's an $80.00 scope. Windex and paper towels. ;)
