I just received this telescope from a generous club member. I found out that there are smudges and mold patches (?) on the 2 front elements, how can I clean them? Are those gonna affect the telescope performance?

You can use lens wipe specifically for lens/ glasses

#

Zeiss has some

#

If it’s mold I believe there are other methods

#

You’d need to tear it apart and put it in a bath of mixture of your choosing. Never done it but seen stuff like vinegar, water and soap and I saw someone on Reddit say they have used bleach 💀
